My Worship Time           Focus:  Aaron’s sons clothed

Bible Reading & Meditation               Reference:  Leviticus 8:13

         

          Message of the verse:  “13  Next Moses had Aaron’s sons come near and clothed them with tunics, and girded them with sashes and bound caps on them, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.”

            The garments that the son’s of Aaron wore were much different than the garments that Aaron, the high priest, wore.

            Clothing in the Scriptures signifies different things.  “Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your godly ones sing for joy.”  Clothes can also show the sinfulness of a person, “Re 3:4  ‘But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me in white, for they are worthy.  Jas 5:2  Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten.”  As believers in Jesus Christ we are to “put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.”  Romans 13:14  Paul also tells believers that they are to put on the spiritual armor, as spoken of in Ephesians 6.  By putting on the spiritual armor the believer is putting on the Lord Jesus Christ for all the articles of the spiritual armor represent the Lord Jesus Christ.

            God commanded Moses to put these clothes on Aaron’s sons and he obeyed God in having them made exactly as God told him to make them and then have them put on as He commanded Moses.  Moses was obedient in all the things that God told him to do.

            Spiritual meaning for my life today:  This passage reminds me that I too am to be obedient in all the things that God has told me to do through His Word, and that one of the things that I should do each day at the beginning of the day is to put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and to do this I should put on the spiritual armor.

My Steps of Faith for Today:

1. Put on the spiritual armor.
2. Trust that the Lord will guide my path.
3. Give myself to the Lord for worship and service.
4. Trust that God will show my wife and I when and if to go on our job to Hawaii or some other place.

Memory verses for the week:                      Exodus 20:4-7

4.You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.

5.  You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children on the third and forth generations of those who hate me,

6.  but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love me and keep my commandments.

7.  You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.
