"But the LORD said to Moses: Let one leader each day present his offering for the dedication of the altar." Numbers 7:11
Twelve tribes of Israel, twelve different leaders and each of their offerings were identical each day. Not one added or took away from what they were asked to bring. Consistency in their dedication of the altar. What is God's message in this, why did they each follow precisely down to the weight of each plate. By the time Jesus was born their offerings had been altered, their ways had been changed by man. When we look at the purity of what God intended it reveals truth, there is consistency in our worship. "I warn everyone who hears the prophetic words in this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words in this prophetic book, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city described in this book." Revelation 22:18-19

What is God saying to me: My ways are simple to follow, reading My Word and pondering upon it, speaks to you. There is hidden meaning in the depths. May you have eyes of faith to see.
Dear Father, it is cold outside this morning, the winds are going this way and that but You are steady, You are direct and You fill my heart with purity. I pray for consistency in our worship, for leaders to be guided by the Holy Spirit and the Word of Truth. Prayers for a friend in the hospital, prayers for love, acceptance and forgiveness within their family. You are Loving God and You can melt a hardened heart, I thank You for that today Father. We are blessed when we trust in You and we are consistent in our worship of You. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, pray for us.
