I HOPE YOU BATHE DAILY! The tabernacle had a bronze laver for cleansing the priests before they entered the Holy place. There was a one time overall cleansing, but then an everyday washing of the hands and feet. The laver was made from polished bronze that the women used as a mirror. This was a picture foreshadowing Him who was to come, that is Jesus. When you are born again, there is a one time, overall cleansing. The blood of Christ cleanses you from all your sin and you are made a new creation. BUT there is an everyday cleansing that needs to continue, “that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the Word,” Ephesians‬ ‭5:26‬

‭The Word of God is a cleansing agent. It’s a place where we go everyday to prepare ourselves to enter His presence. The Word is a mirror to show us our true nature. There are still things that need to be cleansed and refined: our selfish nature, pride, developing character, purified thoughts, what are eyes see and ears hear, who we are spending time with, and much more. 1 John 3:3 tells us, “whoever has this hope in Him purifies himself”. You still have a daily cleansing routine! Allow God’s Word to cleanse you. Cleanse and change those things His Word reveals. Be an obedient child- don’t pick and choose what Scriptures you like and do not like. The Word is a mirror- don’t walk away and forget what you look like.  #runyourrace
