- And he measured the length of the room, twenty cubits, and its breadth, twenty cubits, across the nave. And he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.” Ezekiel 41:4 – Here God had a plan for how He wanted the most holy place in the temple to look. Now God has a plan for what He wants His new temple, you, to look like. Part of those plans looks like a temple free of the holds of sinfulness. Also some of those plans include begin filled with His joy and not worrying so much about the future because it trusts God has tomorrow. Scripture has done a great job of revealing to us what God is leading us to grow into and become. How often though are we examining those blueprints? Settle in the fact that God is working on you and has a plan for you. With that accepted, why not dig into scripture more to learn what that plan is that He has for you? Maybe if we got a better idea of the type of person God is growing us into we wouldn’t be so surprised when changes come that shape us. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 1105
- Then he went into the inner room and measured the jambs of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the sidewalls on either side of the entrance, seven cubits. Ezekiel 41:3 – In this chapter we are again with Ezekiel as he is being given the measurements of the temple. This time we are getting the measurements of the inner temple, the most holy place within the temple. As the angel is walking through the temple we see him go straight into the most holy place to measure, but Ezekiel doesn’t follow. The most holy place was a room that the high priest was only allowed in, and only one time a year. As a priest Ezekiel was able to be within the walls of the temple, but he wasn’t able to enter into the most holy place. As we spoke on yesterday, seeing this should stir in us such an appreciation for what Jesus has done for us. None of us are a high priest but we are welcomed into the most holy place with God. We don’t have to wait all year long for this one time to approach God, we can every day at any time. The doors to the Lord have been opened wide by the sacrifice of Jesus and His resurrection. What does all this mean for you today? You don’t have to stand at the doorway anymore and just look in like Ezekiel, you have been made holy by Jesus and can enter into God’s presence. Let’s take full hold of that blessing today and enjoy time in the presence of our God. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2382
