Bezalel made the bronze washbasin and its bronze stand from bronze mirrors donated by the women who served at the entrance of the Tabernacle.

Exodus 38:8

“Building the” is a continued phrase throughout today’s reading?

• Am I using everything God has given me, for Him?
• Do I offer up what I have with a willing and generous heart?
• Am I doing everything the Lord exactly as the Lord commanded?

The women of that day did not have glass mirrors as we do today. They used highly polished brass and other metals. Job 37:18 refers to a “mirror of cast bronze.” The serving women donated their mirrors to the tabernacle to be used in creating the bronze laver.

“It was highly significant that the brass of these mirrors was employed to construct that laver in which the priests must wash on approaching the altar or entering the Tabernacle. It is in the beauty of holiness men must worship, and by the surrender of everything of the flesh.” - G Campbell Morgan

When I look in the mirror, what do I see?

• Someone who is becoming holy?
• Someone who is becoming like the world?

I will become holy, like the Tabernacle when I answer yes to these questions

• Am I using everything God has given me, for Him?
• Do I offer up what I have with a willing and generous heart?
• Am I doing everything the Lord exactly as the Lord commanded?

Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 (ESV)

Live my life in such a way so that I may look in the mirror to answer yes to the questions.
