Glorious and Beautiful

Scripture:

Exodus 28:2  "Make sacred garments for Aaron that are glorious and beautiful."

Observation:

When God was preparing the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place, He told his people to make Aaron, the High Priest garments that were glorious and beautiful.  Once per year he would wear these garments for going before the Lord in the Most Holy Place.  God told them exactly what He wanted on the garments.  He was specific and designed something glorious and beautiful.

Application:

God does things well.  Heaven is an incredibly beautiful place.  God spares no expense when it comes to worship and sacrifice.  He does things amazing.  As God's people, we should not offer to Him anything that costs us nothing.  Rather, we should offer to God our very best.  We must learn to give God our absolute best.  What we do for the Lord, let's do to the very best of our ability and let's give Him something glorious and beautiful.

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, You are worthy of my absolute best.  Help me to offer You my very best.  Let my gifts to You be glorious and beautiful.  Let my offerings be with a clean and pure heart.  Help me to live out Your calling on my life in excellence because I am doing it for You.

You're the Best,
Jeff
