Doing As We Were Shown

Scripture Exodus 27: [8] Make the altar hollow, out of boards. It is to be made just as you were shown on the mountain.

Observation: Sometimes we feel we’re not sure how to do something that God wants us to do, but yet He has shown us through His word. The bible is great because God not only tells us what to do, he gives us examples of both what to do and what not to do. We have been shown how we are to live our life for God’s glory. God has set up rules and regulations on how we are supposed to act, honor God and treat others.

Application: I know the life God wants me to live and I have no excuses when I fail. I need to get out of this sinful nature of mine and stay focused on God. He has done so much for me and He is watching over me and wants the best, that is why He sets up perimeters for me to stay within. I need to follow directions so that I can build a life God would be proud of.

Prayer: My Lord thank you for showing me how to live. I thank you for your rules and direction in my life, but I need your help to be successful and following them. Each day I need the Holy Spirit to guide me and fight off this sinful nature I have so that I may do what is right. I love you Lord and want to please you.
