"Inspection"

Exodus 39:43 "Then Moses inspected all their work. When he found it had
been done just as the Lord had commanded him, he blessed them."



Inspection. That is the word that most people dread. Wondering whether
or not they did their job right. Companies spend extra work hours, hire
more staff, spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on making sure
they pass their inspection. Children run and hide when their parents say
they're going to inspect their room, in fear of an incomplete task.
Churches dread city inspections, contemplating whether or not all fire
codes have been covered or if there's a new code they did not know about
in which they get fined or closed down! 

God is the ultimate inspector and he inspects the hidden secrets of our
hearts. However, the relationship with the Inspector is vital in order
to receive his favor of passing the inspection. If a company knew
personally the person doing the inspection it's like a breath of fresh
air for them. They can breathe and the tension is easily released
because there is a personal relationship with them. If a child knew
exactly how their parent liked their room and met the requirements,
there would be no need to hide due to the assurance of a job fulfilled. 

The problem is many of us either don't know the inspector or they know
the requirements of passing the inspection, but take short cuts and hide
the errors. 

There is a blessing attached to an approved inspection. Obedience will
always attach a blessing. Rebellion will always attach a curse. 

Keep a relationship with the True Life Inspector.  Learn what he
requires and be obedient. Don't take the short cuts of hiding the
mistakes, but take care of them before they are found. Live in the
blessings of an Approved Inspection!
