Please read Exodus 29.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/exo/29/1/s_79001

Meditate on verse 44.

I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar;

I will also consecrate Aaron and his sons to minister as priests to Me.

Consecrate is used ten times in Exodus 29. It means to set apart as holy and dedicated to the LORD.1 It is used in the context of great sacrifice: bulls, rams, and lambs killed and much blood applied in order to be consecrated as God’s priest. About 28 sacrificial steps are listed in this chapter.

Yesterday, you learned that in Christ, you are God’s priest. It is in the context of great sacrifice that you have this privilege.

By this will, we have been sanctified

 through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

  For by one offering He perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

—Hebrews 10:10, 14

Jesus’ death met all of the sacrificial requirements of the Old Testament Law. Your acceptance of this perfect sacrifice sets you apart as God’s dwelling place and His priest (1 Corinthians 3:16; 1 Peter 2:5, 9). Live your life dedicated to the One who accomplished everything for you!

Pray Exodus 29:43-46 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, meet with __________ and me.

Consecrate us by Your glory.

Consecrate us to minister as priests to You.

Dwell among us and be our God.

We know that You are the LORD our God

 who brought us out of the land of our sin,

that You might dwell among us. 

Because You are the LORD our God, Jesus~”
