I sometimes think that I take God all too lightly. When I look at the statues and commands that were laid down for the Israelites to follow I feel wholly inadequate. This is an absolutely perfect place to be because it shows me how much I actually need Jesus Christ in my life. I cannot do anything to increase my merit with God. I just place my trust in the face that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and then there is nothing that is necessary beyond that for me to have the assurance of eternal life with God.
Another thought that came to my mind while reading Exodus 29 and 30 was how much the term aroma was used. I wonder what does God smell? I have never thought about the senses that God has but to think that something had a pleasing aroma to God is very interesting. I wonder what the oils and incense smelled like.
I have found that reading through the Bible at a slow pace has really allowed me to look at all the stories and see details I would typically pass over all too quickly. It is quite enjoyable.
