And you shall make for them linen trousers to cover their nakedness; they shall reach from the waist to the thighs. Exodus 28:42
Aaron and his sons had holy duties to perform before the Lord, and they had some human needs too. In this case, the Lord ordered some boxer briefs made of linen for His priests to wear. One can almost hear the other folks in the congregation saying, "Hey, where do I get me some of those?" And a new segment of the clothing industry was born. When we fail to pray over needs that we might think are too private, basic, or worldly for the Lord our God to pay attention to, then we fail to give Him the chance to provide for us in all our needs. The Lord here makes sure the priestly pudenda are covered, and that Aaron and his sons are comfortable in their duties. Jesus gave to us His Spirit to dwell in us, and God knows our every thought. So, what need do we have that is too base or dirty for our Lord to provide for upon our confession and request?
Thank You dear Lord our Father for Your kind and loving provision this day,
Bucky
