Exodus chapter 39 verses 42 and 43

according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so the people of Israel had done all the work.

And Moses saw all the work, and behold they had done it.

As the Lord had commanded, so had they done it.

Then Moses blessed them.

What I love about these two verses

is the way they kind of repeat themselves.

They basically say you look at verses 42 and 43,

they almost mirror each other.

Basically saying twice in different ways, the people of God did all that God told them to do, period.

That's the point, it repeats it a couple of different times, just hits it from from different angles and I read that and I think

now I want that to be the commentary at the end of my life. Don't you? Don't you want to look back

the end of your life which obviously for any one of us could be any moment,

any moment and to say they did all that the Lord

commanded them to do. Now obviously none of us is gonna is gonna be perfect

on that day and we'll have done every single thing the

Lord has called us to do.

But I sure want to do as much as possible of what God has called me to do, commanded me to do, in his word, his will for my life in this world,

I want to make my life count by doing what God calls me to do. I don't want to waste time, not doing what God has called me to do.

And I'm assuming you don't either. So this is why, this is why we are in his word on a daily basis.

Why we must be on a daily basis because we have to hear what he commands us to do.
