Read the Bible in a Year Today Read Exodus 27 and 28

Aaron is to be the high priest, making him the mediator between God and Israel. Therefore, Aaron had to be dressed appropriately for the work. God told Moses,

2 And you shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty (Exodus 28:2).

Then God provides people, to whom He has given special gifts to be able to work on these garments. Moreover, God provides all the instructions and what material they are to use. A marvelous description follows. You will agree with the Lord that Aaron's high priest garments are gloriously beautiful!

Have you contracted with someone to make a garment for you or build a house for you or some other project? You provided ideas, the cost and all that the craftsman needed. Now, think of yourself as the craftsman. God has endued you with abilities that make you the superior craftsman on earth. He also gives you the explicit directions. He provides all the cost.

His project for which He has hired you will be far superior to the project that we hired out.

God has hired us to work on the church. The Son of God built the church, using Himself as the foundation! Now, He wants to use you as one of the stones in His magnificent building! Have you ever heard of such a structure? Yes, First Peter chapter 2 explains that we are living stones in the temple that Jesus works in as high priest.

Those people who worked on the tabernacle had a magnificent work, but what God uses us for in the Spirit is far greater. Just think on that for the rest of the day.
