Meticulous

Exodus 25:9
9       “According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture, just so you shall construct it.
New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (LaHabra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), Ex 25:9.

This week I have been in Exodus as apart of my bible reading plan. After I read this verse, I started to see how God specifically told Moses and Israel how he wanted everything built. In our culture we don't have the level of seeing things don't with excellence. It is even in the church we have put grace at a place in our lives that we have become lazy in doing the things specifically the way GOd has asked us to. The New Testament model that we are suppose to follow and be built like is Jesus. We use high sounding rational arguments of why we should not try to be like Jesus because He was perfect. It is true that we can never be perfect, but we can have the fruit of the spirit in our lives that people see Jesus through our lives. Do you look like Jesus or like church culture? Are we truly free in the Spirit or are we free in our flesh saying everything is ok for us? Questions I wrestle with everyday!!!
