7 days before the Lord

Reading in Leviticus today; chapter 8. It talks about the ordination of Aaron and his sons. They were being prepared to be the spiritual leaders of the Israelites. They put on the priestly clothes, made a sacrifice, and anointed them with oil. Then they had to stay at the entrance of the tent of meeting for 7 days and do everything the Lord told them to do. Today as we lead a church, a small group, or our families it is not necessary to sacrifice an animal or wear special clothes, but it is crucial that we spend time; just us and God. As we lead what is most precious to God -(His People) we must be in tune with him. That time is so valuable, and crucial to our success. before we get wrapped up in doing the things of the ministry, let us get wrapped up in the presence of our Lord, so we know who it is we are serving and how best to bring him glory!
