Take Your Job Seriously
Jesus came to do away with the priestly order of the Levites & usher in a new priesthood of believers. So now, all who have accepted the sacrifice of Jesus, have been called into the priesthood. We are His servants & workers in His Kingdom. We too need to take our work seriously.

We too need to trust Him & know that if He hasn’t moved yet, it is because He wants us where we are. Also, if He moves too quickly or takes us somewhere that we do not want to go, He is Lord. Whether we know it or not, we want to be wherever He takes us because that is where His Presence dwells. Being in His will is the most comforting & safe place to be.

When the priests walked into that room, they were supposed to see God in their minds eye: His BEAUTY; His WORTH; His LIGHT; His SACRIFICE; His GLORY. After-all, it was His house & they were in His Presence!
Knowing God More
While we are living on this earth, we will not ever fully see God. But He will show us the parts that we need to see when we need to see them.
