Father God, I woke up thinking about that veil, the one you tore in two. Then I sat with my Bible and read from Exodus about that veil, the one you designed so beautifully.
Father God, such detail went into the design of the tabernacle. Your Old Testament temple was so meticulous. My mind’s eye loves reading through its design from the curtains to the frame work, from the table to the lamp-stand, from the altar to the veil. There was such stunning detail in its design.
Then, You sent your Son to be the Savior of the world. (1 John 4:14)
Then, “Behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.” (Mt. 27:51)
Father God, your perfect design was fulfilled by your perfect gift.
Jesus, you removed the veil that separated us from the holiness of God. You stood in its place. you claimed its purpose and turned it into an open door. Jesus, you removed the veil, so that we could behold the righteousness of God through you.
Then, you clothed us in your righteousness. (Isaiah 61:10)
Then, you called us to be the image of the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:21)
Father God, This truth humbles our core and causes us to desire to shine according to your glory and grace. Lord, I pray we will shine for you in our individual design.
Father God, I think of this veil that you designed, and I think of its end as Jesus Christ submitted to be your perfect gift for us. I think about the responsibility we have to proclaim the light of Jesus by simply being a Child of God.
Then, I think of brothers and sisters who twist your Scripture. (2 John 1:7)
Then, I think of the man made veils that are created to block the truth of your Word. (2 Peter 2:10-15)
Holy Spirit,
~ I pray you will shine the light of Your Love brighter than the verbal veil of man.
~ I pray you will remove the blinders from those who are in need of discernment.
~ I pray you will speak to the heart of those who are knowingly or unknowingly leading others further from the truth of the Word of God.
And Father, I pray you will forever guide my words to be glorifying to you. I pray they will never be twisted for man’s promotion but for your eternal purpose.
These things are on my heart this day. These things I cast at your feet. These things are yours. I pray you will do what you do and press me to do what I am called to do.
In the name of Jesus Christ we pray,
Amen.
