I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

Exodus 28. “Make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: holy to the Lord. Fasten a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban; it is to be on the front of the turban.  It will be on Aaron’s forehead, and he will bear the guilt involved in the sacred gifts the Israelites consecrate, whatever their gifts may be. It will be on Aaron’s forehead continually so that they will be acceptable to the Lord” (Verses 36-38). The Priests were to be God’s representatives in human form. But they were NOT God. They are human beings who in the old testament, (before Christ died and gave us access to the throne of God), made God accessible to the people. Today we have a better way, we can boldly come before God. That’s the gift that Jesus has given us. Many times we look to Pastors, teachers, and Priest to get us to God. While God just stands there waiting for us to come on our own. Christ has given us the right to be called children of God, therefore, let’s treat God as who He is…Our heavenly Father. Standing before Him without fear…On our own.
