The Lord Who Sanctifies You
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 need special purification as befitting those in the service of a holy God.
Praise Jehovah Mekaddishkem: And I, indeed I have appointed with him Aholiab… and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the gifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you. 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 31:6, 12-13)
Jehovah Mekaddishkem, Thank You for making me Yours and thank You for setting me apart to be Your own. Sanctify me Lord in Your truth, for Your Word is truth. May my whole spirit and soul be kept blameless at Your coming Lord Jesus Christ. I praise You for You have kept me as Your own, set apart for Your work and sanctified to do Your will. Amen
Lord Jehovah Mekaddishkem, remember me with grace & mercy and ask You to show me kindness. Forgive me for giving myself to things that are not holy. Forgive me for not treating as sanctified that which You have sanctified. And forgive me for being careless with my thots, words and actions. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Lord Jehovah Mekaddishkem, You 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 through and close the doors that I should not step through. Set me apart to accomplish everything You have chosen for me to do. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
