A sanctuary

They are to make a sanctuary for me so that I may dwell among them. You must make it according to all that I show you—the pattern of the tabernacle as well as the pattern of all its furnishings. (Exodus 25:8-9)

Father, dwell in me. Let my life be your sanctuary. May my life not be built according to my own blueprint, but according to yours.

Father, you are holy, your Word is holy, but so often I am unholy. So always meet me above your mercy seat (Exodus 25:21-22).

Jesus, you are my mercy seat (Romans 3:25, CSB).

By your blood, daily wash away all my sins and make me pure before you.

Father, you are always with me, providing me my daily bread (Exodus 25:23-30).

Jesus you are the bread from heaven that gives me eternal life. (John 6:33-35)

Jesus, you are my light (Exodus 25:31-38, John 8:12). Let me walk by your light each day.

In your name, I pray, Amen.
