42 So the people of Israel followed all of the LORD’s instructions to Moses. 43 Then Moses inspected all their work. When he found it had been done just as the Lord had commanded him, he blessed them. ~ Exodus 39:42-43
Moses didn’t just take the people’s word for it; he went and inspected all they had done to make sure that it met the standards the LORD God had set for them. He didn’t let anything be subpar, or make excuses for the people of Israel, so why do we today? We make so many excuses for fellow Christians that don’t reach the standards of God Almighty.
We’ve become so afraid to offend the world that we’ve lulled ourselves into a spiritual sleep that we can’t even differentiate between good and evil anymore. We no longer even know what the instructions of the LORD God are. We’ve lost sight of who God created us to be. We’ve lost sight of the mark that He has set for us to reach.
But it’s not too late to wake up. It’s not too late to aim for the mark. We can still wake up and run the race that has been set out before us. All you have to do is pray this prayer.
Dear LORD, please awaken the sleeping spirit within me. Replace my heart of stone with a heart of flesh that my heart might break for what breaks Yours. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit that I might be able to live a life holy and pleasing to You. Lead me in the path of righteousness for the sake of Your name, that all may see the change in me and give You glory and honor. Teach me, LORD, to love You the way You deserve. Teach me to love people the way You love me, that I might not fear the world, but that I might win souls for You. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
