Ezk 40-42

This portion of Ezekiel gives many dimensions of what is thought to be the temple. Many readers get bogged down in the details and don’t find spiritual nourishment from the dimensions. I’m certainly not immune to this line of temptation. However, this morning as I read this portion I thought of the precision with which God rules the earth. He doesn’t just say ‘build me a temple’, but He gives us exact measurements to build an appropriate temple. God is precise. The Earth was placed exactly where it is for a reason, and we have been created with all our functions for very specific reasons. The Lord uses precise circumstances in our lives to form us and make us. He uses His Word, events, emotions, and people to mold us into vessels that honor Him.

Lord, allow me to see your precision and allow me to glorify Your Holy power over all.
