There was so much detail in all of this - I tried not to get lost in all the specifics, and was amazed at all the requirements. What I find interesting in this is the contrast with the lack on instruction on these things for Christian worship. Where is our priestly garment? Where are our detailed tapestries? I am not saying that I think we should have them; just putting a mental bookmark here to pay attention to the things that Jesus will say in the New Testament about worship and our outward expression of our faith. Why did God change what he wants so drastically? Did he?
Another thing that struck me was God's wrath on the Israelites after Aaron created the golden calf. But, it does seem that they did have a chance to repent, as Moses asked, "Whoever is for the Lord, come to me." But, I had forgotten that part of this story - that a bunch of people were killed right there, after they had worshipped the gold idol. It's shocking.
Daily Inventory:
I had another good walk and talk with my friend and accountability partner today.
I had a good day of work, and enjoyed my students. I didn't have everything as prepared as I would like; I hope to do better on Friday. I was extremely tired from a packed Sunday and had a hard time getting awake this morning. In fact, my body is terribly fatigued now: I need to get it in bed!
I am not doing any appointment prayer time - I need to add that in. The reading takes so long - I am just thrilled after I've done it. Perhaps I'll schedule my prayer time at a different point in the day, to break it up.
