HAND-ME-DOWNS
Today's reading: Exodus 29-32

"Aaron's sacred garments must be preserved for his descendants who will succeed him, so they can be annointed and ordained in them." Exodus 29:29 NLT

I know there are some of you who are 'above' wearing or even accepting hand-me-downs. It's not your style to wear someone elses' clothing. It's not your habit to accept charitable donations. It's not comfortable for you to be seen in previously worn apparel.

Not me. I love getting the good out of something. I consider it a blessing for someone to think of me and pass along a favorite or something that no longer fits. I adore something new to wear.

And so it is with the robes of righteousness that Aaron, and those before him, are passing on to us. Priestly tunics that have been worn for centuries. Anointed and ordained gowns of grace that we're privileged to be handed.

So, what is it God is convicting your heart to 'wear' for His glory? Have you been turning down the offer of a robe of white? Have you been compiling a list of reasons why you're not 'cut out' to be one of His priests? Thinking what He's asking you to do is outdated or the wrong size?

Hand-me-downs like these never wear out, they're always in style and it's always a perfect fit!
