“I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God. And they will know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, so that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.”
Exodus 29:45-46 CSB
God is once again very particular about how they accomplish all these things…but then He tells us why at the very end of these last 5 chapters:
“And they will know that I am the Lord their God.”
It is an identity statement, a reminder that they/we are not like every other people, but rather they/we are Gods people. We are consecrated, set apart, different, a holy priesthood… if that is how I viewed myself at all times, I suspect I would have less displeasing sin in my life.
Lord, help me to embrace the calling that I am not just another person, but rather the identity You give me in Christ!
