Exodus 26-30

S:  Exodus 28:3   "You shall speak to all the skillful persons whom I have endowed with the spirit of wisdom, that they make make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister as priest to Me."

O:  God gave Moses very specific instructions regarding the building of the tabernacle and the creation of the priestly garments.  And He provided them with all the materials and wisdom that were needed.  In Egypt (the world), they had to go get their own straw to make bricks.  They were frustrated and unable to complete their work effectively.  In the wilderness, under God's direction, supervision and provision, they had what they needed to do whatever the Lord commanded.  Peter says this is true for us as well, 2 Peter 1:3 says that we already have everything we need for life and godliness according to the true knowledge of God. 

A.  I often fail in my efforts to squelch sin and make myself pleasing to the Lord.  This is a sign that I'm operating in the flesh instead of relying on the strength and power of the Holy Spirit who alone is able to cause me to die to self and be made into the image of Christ.

P:  Lord, please help me learn to see my sin as you do and to grow inthe true knowledge of God that I might be useful in your kingdom.

"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them" Ephesians 2:10 Poiema is the Greek word for workmanship =) This is me, walking.... sometimes missing the signs but the Lord is always kind to make them larger the next time around.
