  • Anointing for serving God is done once, but cleansing is, and should be, done regularly.

Esther 6
1 Corinthians 11:2-34

  • When Haman recounted the past, he ‘honored’ himself. When the King recounted the past, he honored Mordecai. Again, talking about being humble. Haman’s pride turned against him.
  • When partaking of the Lord’s Supper, what does it mean to do it in an ‘unworthy’ manner? Of course, it does mean having unconfessed sin, or not repenting. But from the context, it also means having a self-centered heart – especially towards brothers in Christ.

Psalm 93
Exodus 39

  • God entrusted the building of the tabernacle, temple, etc. to Israel with Moses as the ‘Project Leader’. He was very very specific with the requirements, that’s why they were able to do it right. Kinda like Outsourcing! And when assigning a task to your team members. If you want it done right, you have to be specific with your requirements. Especially if it’s something they have not done before. And you have to speak in a language they understand. Otherwise, they will assume and guess and might not be able to produce what you had in mind.
