Exodus 39
-The garments meant for ministering in the holy place were
outlined and detailed unto the completion of the work done “as the LORD
commanded.” This phrase is repeated nine times in the chapter, which should
alert us to the importance of it. *Application* How critical is it to carry out
the LORD’s commands in our life? Often we know what God is calling us to do. It
is very clear in His Word, yet we neglect Him and His demands. Blessing is in
the following of the LORD’s commands. It is no coincidence that the chapter
ends with Moses’ blessing of the children of Israel due to their completion of
the work that God had assigned. Whatever God has called you to do, do it with
all your might and increase in it (Deuteronomy 6:5, Matthew 22:37-40,
Colossians 3:23, 1 Timothy 4:14-15, 2 Peter 1:13). There will be peace in your
good conscience towards your Heavenly Father as you obey His imperative
commands. This is not what saves us for eternity (the work of Jesus Christ does
that), but it is what blesses us on this earth by ensuring proper fellowship
with our Maker.
