Ezekiel 40

The prophet saw a man who proceeded to measure every aspect of a magnificent temple in Jerusalem. The temple is where God communes with His people.

God obviously places importance upon measurements and details. He wants our lives to give Him something to dwell in, our worship and our obedience. We always come short in these disciplines. Christ NEVER came up short in anything. When we believe in Christ and yield our lives to His control, the “measuring up” becomes His gift to us through grace and our faith in Him. We thereby measure up because He did, not because of our works or strivings.

The Lord is my Shepherd, and I lack nothing. Ps. 23:1
