Are You Washing in the Word? The Laver
Moses paced back and forth, rehearsing the offerings and sacrifices. “Yahweh,” he prayed. “You are so generous with your forgiveness and mercy. There is no other God like You. May the people put all of this into practice. May they come to know You and love You from their hearts.” Suddenly, the courtyard of the … Continue reading Are You Washing in the Word? The Laver
Marching Orders
On Thursday morning, April 6, 2023, I woke up to: ♪ "Through it all, through it all my eyes are on You"— It sang over and over in my head. ( You can listen to the whole song here.) I knew God was the one who put the song in my mind. My response to … Continue reading Marching Orders
Dinner with God – The Peace or Fellowship Offering
The Peace or Fellowship Offering is the last of the five voluntary offerings. The worshiper chose when and if to take them to the priest.

Keep in mind that Moses did not receive the full instructions … Continue reading What Are You Thinking? – The Burnt Offering
The Altar of Sacrifice–A Place to Remember
Moses waited on bended knees. He lifted his hands in praise. “Great and Mighty God, Your ways and Your thoughts are beyond everything I’ve imagined. Yahweh, I am in awe of the things You are showing me. I cannot help but wonder why You chose me for this assignment. I am humbled by the beauty … Continue reading The Altar of Sacrifice–A Place to Remember
Time to Selah
Moses rolled over and sat up. The red dirt of Sinai clung to the folds of his garment. It took a few minutes for him to gather his thoughts. All sense of time was lost. “I’ve never felt such peace,” he said with a sigh. He looked around and found he was still enveloped in … Continue reading Time to Selah
The Gate – Part 2 — What Do the Colors Mean?
Moses rubbed his eyes. God’s words continued without a pause. Visions formed in his mind. “But how am I going to remember all of this?” He asked. “Yahweh, I don’t have a scribe with me.
