Ex. 39, 40 [The Message]

All the elements of the newly constructed Tabernacle of Moses were in their place and ready for service. Except … God wanted them to be anointed with oil to be set apart to be holy. The anointing was the final step.

We may feel we bring to God all the elements He needs to use us. We then need to be touched by His Holy Spirit as if anointed by oil. This comes by seeking it through prayer and consecration. The priests were first washed clean (purity of life), clothed with the appropriate vestments (clothed in the armor of God), and anointed by the Holy Ghost. This process needs to happen daily.
