Looking Back
Exodus 39
 |
| I pray blessings on you as you read. |
(v. 32) "So all the work on the inner tent, the tent of meeting, was now done. The Israelites followed all the LORD's instructions to Moses." (v. 33a) "Then they brought everything to Moses..." (v. 42-43) "The Israelites had done all the work following the LORD's instructions to Moses. Moses inspected all the work and saw that they had followed the LORD's instructions. So Moses blessed them."
My Thoughts
Do you ever look back at or think back to anything? You finished a project that you have been on for a long time and you look back at it to make sure all is good. Or you think back to when you first started learning something new and you think about how much you've improved and progressed since then and all the things you have done so far, and will some day, achieve.
Looking back is necessary to improve further. You learn from your mistakes and you remind yourself of things you may have forgotten. Remember the mistakes and look for imperfections and ways that you can improve upon what you are doing now or have done for a long time. It's important in order to progress further.
In the case of work that you have finished, it is important to review it to make sure that it is up to the standard that you want. If you don't do it yourself, then having someone to do it for you is good as well. In fact, having someone else, or even multiple people, to review your work and give you feedback is good anyway because other people always have different ideas and viewpoints and perspectives that can help us to improve even more.
God gave Moses instructions as to what He wanted to be done and how. Moses gave those instructions to the Israelite workers and they did the work. When they were finished, Moses inspected all the work they had done and found that it was all in line with the instructions God had given.
With anything that you do, it is good to look for the critique and opinion of others. Other people tend to see what we miss with our work and can point those things out. In turn, we can then improve what we are doing and become more efficient and proficient and progress more and faster.
You can apply Exodus 39 directly to your life as well. The work is your life and the choices you make. We want our life; our choices to be exactly as God commanded and in line with what He wants so that when He looks back and we look back at our lives God will say, "It was exactly as I commanded."
