B90D: Day 7 - Exodus 29:1-40:38

I finished Exodus today!

S: Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God. They will know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of Egypt so that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God. (Exodus 29:46 NIV84)

O: God was designing the tabernacle so the Israelites would remember Him. It's almost as if he knew they would forget at every single struggle. But I like the fact that he says that he brought them out of Egypt so that he could dwell among them, so he could be part of their daily life.

A: I don't know if I always believe that God wants to dwell with me. Like, he wants to part of everything that I do, from cleaning, to teaching, to cooking, to relaxing. I don't know that that truth sinks in very well. I even had a post it note in the hallway for a long time with a verse that reminded that God is always near and I should act accordingly. Not overly proper as if I was talking to an unapproachable king, but appropriately. Because my heavenly Father who knows my thoughts and my heart wants me to constantly seek after him. And I don't always act that way. Not at all.

P: God, be with me wherever I go, and whatever I do. Remind me of your presence and convict my heart when my thoughts and actions are not seeking your face. Amen.
