DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 45; Psalms 23-24; Matt. 26:1-30
On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. Exodus 40:2
The Tabernacle was set up for the first time on the first day of a new year. This was a fresh beginning and everything pertaining to the tabernacle had to be set in order, for God is a God of order. (1 Cor. 14; 40) To enjoy God’s presence, our lives must be in order too. In the world there is confusion and chaos, because people are not ordering their lives according to the Word of God. An unconsecrated vessel in the Tabernacle would hinder God’s blessing. If we are unconsecrated then we too will hinder the blessing of God in our lives and also the local church. Is your life in order? Are you set apart? —Jim Comte
Take my will and make it Thine, it shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart, it is Thine own, it shall be Thy royal throne. —F. Havergal
