Exodus 24:1-27:21
"The
glory of the Lord" (Exodus 24:16-17) - God is to be glorified in all
that we do. Symbolic of God's glory is the frequent reference to "gold"
or "pure gold." God's glory is to shine brightly among God's people. If
God is to be glorified among us, if our lives are to be like "pure
gold", we must be like "pure virgin olive oil", keeping our "lamps"
burning for Him (Exodus 27:20-21). God will not be glorified if we are
not looking to Him to keep our lamps burning for Him - "Give me oil in
my lamp, keep me burning", "Shine, Jesus, shine. Fill this land with the
Father's glory. Blaze, Spirit, blaze. Set our hearts on fire ... " The
blessing we read about here is not simply for those who are already
God's people. It is also for those who will be reached for Christ and
won for Him, as the Lord's people rise to the challenge of carrying
Christ to "this land" and to "the nations."
