Give Him Your Best

Today (February 21) I read Exodus 37:1-38:18 and Mark 11:1-25. My favorite verses are:

Exodus 37:7 And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat.

Mark 11:9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Much of what was made for the Tabernacle of God was made from pure gold. The angels on the ends of the mercy seat on the Ark of the Covenant were gold. Gold was, and still is, a precious metal, highly valued. Its use in the Tabernacle showed obedience to God as well as high regard for the place of His presence. God is always worthy of our very best. Jesus Christ, His Son, is also worthy of our best. When He entered Jerusalem before He was sold to His enemies to be crucified, He was surrounded by people who were praising Him. As we worship and praise the Father and the Son, may we be aware of their awesome majesty and give Them our very best.
