STAYING TRUE WITH THE DIVINE PATTERN (PT. 3)

STAYING TRUE WITH THE DIVINE PATTERN (PT. 3).

TEXT:  Exodus 25:8, 9 and 40 (AMP)
⁸ Let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

⁹ And you shall make it according to all that I showed you, the pattern of the tabernacle or dwelling and the pattern of all the furniture of it.

⁴⁰ And see to it that you copy [exactly] their pattern which was shown you on the mountain.

The responsibility of accomplishing a vision is more than having a great idea, putting together an office, equipment, events and programs.  Many who have the opportunity to be part of a great vision may not see the need to acknowledge the grace upon the visionary until they have the opportunity to start something themself. Often than not, those who choose to be passive or half hearted in their service when working in the vision of someone else end up killing their own vision and success. When they are able to start something that is when they would want everybody to be enthusiastic about the vision but the seed they have sown in the past they will begin to harvest.

When you have the opportunity to serve in another man’s field please discipline yourself to understand and help make the vision become a reality. You may be laying the foundation for your own vision by your words and actions.

Verse number 9 of our text says, “And you shall make it according to all that I showed you, the pattern of the tabernacle or dwelling and the pattern of all the furniture of it.” It is obvious that this command was meant for Moses who is the one God showed the vision, yet it is obvious that he is not to do everything by himself. The job would have been easier if it is something that he can do by himself, but the fact that he would be working with others who were not there when the pattern was given makes it much more delicate. It is one thing to understand something and another to make someone else see it through the same lens. That is the reason why the LORD emphasized it in verses 8,9 and 40. When a man understands the importance of divine assignment he will not sit down and watch others useless his efforts. Others may be a part of it but the responsibility is his. Do you understand your place and your role?
