CONSECRATED
Today's reading: Numbers 1-4

"They were anointed and set apart to minister as priests." Numbers 3:3 NLT

"...the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office..." Numbers 3:3 KJV

Consecrated, what a big word. A very serious sounding word.  A word I've heard and read, but had never really stopped to consider.

Consecrated means to be full of, to be filled, to have an abundance.

That's cool!

God placed in positions of importance in His work the very ones He had so filled with Him.

The ones who couldn't get enough of Him, because they knew how wonderful it was.

The ones who never quite fully understood Him, but were amazed by Him none the less.

The ones who desired such a filling of His Spirit, that they received it because they followed Him closely enough to get it.

I want to be that person. I want to be consecrated, filled to the brim with Him!
