The Lord Who Sanctifies You
Backgrounder to Exodus 28-31:
After describing the place of
worship (the Tabernacle), Moses
goes on to detail the people
of worship (the priests, Israel’s
representatives before God).
Everything about them is special,
from the clothing they wear to
the elaborate rituals they perform
in leading the worship of the nation
Both they and the implements of
worship they use require special
purification, as befitting those
in the service of a Holy God.
Lord, we praise U for sanctifying us:
And the Lord said to Moses,
say unto the Israelites, Truly you
shall keep my Sabbaths, for it
is a sign between Me and you
throughout your generations that
you may know that I am the LORD
who sanctifies you (Exo 31:12-13)
Lord, thank u for making us yours
& for setting us apart to be yr own.
Sanctify me in your truth, for
your Word is truth. May my whole
spirit and soul be kept blameless
at your coming Lord Jesus.
I praise You for you have kept me
as your own, set apart for your
work, sanctified to do your will.
Lord, forgive me for giving myself
to things that are not holy.Forgive
me for not treating as sanctified
that which have sanctified. And
forgive me for being careless
with my thots, words & actions.
Lord, U have chosen me as your
ambassador on earth and I will
proclaim to all that I am yours.
Open the doors I need to go thro
and close the doors that I should
not step through. Set me apart
to accomplish everything you
have chosen for me to do.
We ask U to sanctify us O God.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
