#5416 – Exact Pattern

Good morning people who build according to the pattern seen in God’s Word.

Exodus 25:8-9 NIV “Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them. Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.”

When it comes to the things of God, close enough is not good enough.

God wants His church to be built exactly like the pattern that He has shown us in His Word.

God wants us to live exactly like the pattern that He has shown us in His Word.

We can’t improve on what God has set in place. We don’t know better than God, and to even hint that we do is the height of arrogance.

Mankind always mucks things up when we go down a different path to the path laid out for us. God has determined things and set things into place. God has a way of doing things, and His way works.

We see Jesus point us to this truth clearly in His model prayer when He said, ‘Father, may Your kingdom come and may Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.’ This is the pattern. This is the model. This is the way.

It’s time for the church to return to the priorities of Jesus.

It’s time for the church to return to the priorities of the early church as seen in the book of Acts.

It’s time for the church to fully embrace God’s prescribed and details blueprint for life.

God knows best. We do not.
