—Deuteronomy 4:9-11
by: Jasmine Lynch.
God was very particular about the vessels and areas used by the Israelites in worship. He was very specific about the treatment and handling of the temple vessels. My mother was a Deaconess charged with taking care of the communion towels and vessels. Everything was washed separately and cared for only by the deaconess. How do you take care of God’s temple—both your body (1 Corinthians 3:16) and the building in which you worship? This text shows up my failures and my need to raise the standard. How about you? If God was so concerned about the material things of the temple, how much more does He care for us?
