Exodus 29:1-31:18

God describes how Aaron and the priests are to be dedicated to make them worthy of offering sacrifices to God.  Them we learn about the specific sacrifices these priests will make.  An interesting note is that most of the sacrifices are set up as to make a pleasing aroma to God.  God them gets into the nitty-gritty of how the temple and the priests are to be funded and who the chief craftsmen are to be, and God concludes by giving a final instruction making a sabbath observation by Israel a perpetual institution.

A Prayer

Protector God,

Be with all of us this week as we are separated. Keep us safe in our travels and as we stay at home. Defend us from injury and harm. Put a hedge of protection around this family and drive evil away. Thank you for being the focal point of our lives. Please give us direction as to our future. As we go out this week open our eyes to the needs of those around us. Help us to see the needs that we can meet and work to be your servant in those times.

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Thank you God, Amen.
