Daily offerings are established, morning and evening. God promises to meet His people there. “I will dwell among the Israelites, and I will be their God.” The goal was never ritual, it was relationship. God’s desire has always been to live among His people. Exodus 29 points forward to Jesus. Jesus becomes the final sacrifice. Believers are now called a royal priesthood. God still desires to dwell with His people.

It reads in Exodus 29:38–46 Easy: You must offer a regular gift on the altar each day. This offering must be two lambs that are one year old. Offer one lamb in the morning and the other lamb in the evening. With the first lamb, offer two litres of good flour. Mix the flour with one litre of olive oil. Also offer one litre of wine as a drink offering. Kill the other lamb in the evening. Offer it with the same gifts of food and drink as in the morning. It is a burnt offering to the Lord. Its smell pleases him. You and your descendants must continue to make this burnt offering as a regular offering to me, the Lord. Offer it to me at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. I will meet with you there and I will speak to you. I will meet with the Israelites there. My bright glory will make it a holy place. In that way I will make the Tent of Meeting and its altar a special, holy place. Aaron and his sons will become my special servants. They will serve me as my priests. I will live among the Israelites and I will be their God. They will know that I am the Lord their God. I brought them out of Egypt so that I could live among them. I am the Lord their God.

Father God, You promised to dwell among Your people and to be known as the One who brings them out to live in Your presence. As the offering rose morning and evening, let our lives rise continually before You. Dwell with us, speak peace over us, and make us aware that You are our God who stays near. May Your presence sanctify every place You choose to meet us. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name  Amen.
