You are to make an embroidered breastpiece for making decisions. Make it with the same workmanship as the ephod; make it of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of finely spun linen. It must be square and folded double, nine inches long and nine inches wide. Place a setting of gemstones on it, four rows of stones:

The first row should be a row of carnelian, topaz, and emerald;
the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond; the third row,
a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper.

They should be adorned with gold filigree in their settings. The 12 stones are to correspond to the names of Israel’s sons. Each stone must be engraved like a seal, with one of the names of the 12 tribes.(Exodus 28:15-21)

How well do you follow instructions? How does your understanding of the organization or meaning of something impact your willingness to follow?

When are you most likely to walk the other way instead of following instructions, especially God’s?

Today’s Challenge: Look for the beauty of God’s creativity today. Appreciate His organization. Let Him astound you.
