60 “You shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are on it.”

 Exodus 40:4

God is a God of order and orderliness and not chaos. He requires that His worship is carried out according to His ways and not our own ideas. The whole of Exodus chapter 40 is the prescription of the Lord as to how Moses was to set up the Tabernacle for worship. All the items had to be in the right location and all the tables furnished with what the Lord required.

 So it is for us today. We do not come into the sanctuary of the Lord any old way, but all is ready for worship of the Lord of heaven and earth. He is our dearly loved Father, but we must reverence Him and come with awe to His being so that we worship Him in Spirit and truth.

 The songs we sing and the prayers we offer should be full of reverence and prayerfulness to Him who made us and has given us the wonder of spiritual life. We can come to Him with great gladness and thankfulness that He has saved us from worldliness and sorrow and made our hearts to sing.

 Church is not a party or a free for all of expression, but all done in order and with thought and dignity.

“Let all things be done decently and in order.”

1 Corinthians 14:40

 Let us ensure we are worshipping God in the way that pleases Him.
