Hi and welcome to His Words Are Life. 00:00:16.05\00:00:17.89 I'm Kelly Mowrer, and thank you 00:00:17.92\00:00:19.41 for joining with me to read 00:00:19.56\00:00:20.53 the Word of God today. 00:00:20.54\00:00:21.51 When we were last together we were reading in the book of 00:00:21.71\00:00:24.75 Exodus God's instructions for the garments that were to be 00:00:24.85\00:00:29.42 worn by Aaron and his sons as they served in the role of 00:00:29.52\00:00:32.63 priests. We were reading about the ephod and how that contained 00:00:32.73\00:00:38.14 stones and on the stones were engraved the names of the 00:00:38.24\00:00:42.15 twelve tribes of Israel. 00:00:42.25\00:00:43.40 And Aaron took those names and bore them before the Lord. 00:00:43.60\00:00:47.60 And we can take from that the assurance that our names 00:00:47.71\00:00:52.45 are always in front of God's care and keeping. 00:00:52.55\00:00:54.96 He knows each one of us. He knows where we're at. 00:00:55.06\00:00:57.03 And now as we read the Bible together, let's pray 00:00:57.13\00:00:59.61 and ask Him to be with us with His Holy Spirit guiding us 00:00:59.71\00:01:02.53 in a special way. Dear Jesus, thank you so much 00:01:02.63\00:01:05.83 that you have graven our names in Your heart and in Your hands 00:01:05.93\00:01:10.48 and You know each one of us. That not a sparrow falls 00:01:10.68\00:01:13.22 to the ground but that your Father sees it. 00:01:13.32\00:01:16.52 And when He watches the sparrows, 00:01:16.72\00:01:18.90 He certainly hasn't lost sight of us. 00:01:19.00\00:01:20.91 And so, as we read the Old Testament 00:01:21.11\00:01:24.81 and the sanctuary that You had Your children build 00:01:25.02\00:01:28.66 to show us things about You, take these words and teach us 00:01:28.76\00:01:32.85 lessons that You wish to have us apply in our lives today. 00:01:32.95\00:01:36.24 May we know that You constantly have us before Your gaze 00:01:36.44\00:01:40.61 and that You are working out Your plans and Your purpose 00:01:40.71\00:01:42.50 for each one of us. And now please be with us as we read, 00:01:42.60\00:01:45.13 and may we hear and understand. We love You so much, 00:01:45.23\00:01:48.12 and thank You for loving us. Amen. 00:01:48.22\00:01:50.26 Again we are reading in the book of Exodus, 00:01:50.46\00:01:52.70 and we are in chapter 28. 00:01:52.80\00:01:54.88 This is the King James version, and we left off on verse 12. 00:01:54.98\00:01:58.58 I'm going to pick it up right a phrase before we left off 00:01:58.68\00:02:01.68 and we'll continue reading in the middle of verse 12. 00:02:01.79\00:02:04.14 And Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord 00:02:04.34\00:02:07.70 upon his two shoulders for a memorial. 00:02:07.80\00:02:10.60 And thou shalt make ouches of gold;
