Today's reading was Moses anointing the new priests and the first service in the tabernacle. I was surprised to find out that Chapter 9 was the first service since the entire chapter was just sacrifices. Does that mean that the early services were just that or is it possible that this is how it started and they become more about talking about God from here? Will be interested to see where this goes, because that was a little strange to me.
Psalm 62 could be one that we pray now as it's a song of confidence in God as the people are being oppressed by those that govern them. I feel like we are experiencing this right now and it might just be a personal opinion, but I do feel like some of our liberties are slowly being taken away and people are not noticing.

If I am understanding correctly, everything previous was just instruction. I thought it was them doing the things as well, but after going back it just seems like a lot of instruction and it was just in preparation for the start of the gathering. I am also interested to see where this goes. As it doesn't speak of them doing anything other than sacrificing on behalf of the people.
I had a hard time reading this psalm for some reason. I have had to read it 3 times now and am still lost. What most stood out is that God is his rock and his salvation. A reminder I think that we need to keep our focus on God at all times.
