Whats most noticeable?

What do you notice first? If it’s weeds starting to grow in the garden already please ignore them! 

Sometimes what we want to be noticed first isn’t what ends up being noticed first. But Exodus 37 describes a time when God made sure his mercy would be clearly on display, very noticeable, in the temple and the tabernacle.

Exodus‬ ‭37‬:‭6‬ ‭says, “And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.”

God chose to have the mercy seat be a prominent feature on top of the ark of the covenant where His presence would dwell on earth. 

The mercy seat was one of the most prominent and noticeable things about the ark of the covenant. It would be one of the first things anyone saw when they looked at it. I don’t think that was accidental!

The ark is long gone, but God’s mercy is still on display. How have you seen His mercy in your life lately?

Today’s Bible reading is Exodus 37.
