Scripture Readings:  Psalm 32, Exodus 28:6-29:28, Matthew 27:1-26  
Reflection Verse:  Exodus 29:1
 
Reflection:  The process of setting apart ministers through ordination to serve God is a very elaborate, serious, and labor-intensive detailed process. It is not to taken lightly. This setting apart puts a person that God has chosen in an elevated position as a servant of God. It is a lifetime honor and privilege that is received by those who are set apart. Further, it is a mantel of authority that is bestowed by God upon His servants. 

Prayer:  Eternal God, our Heavenly Father. I am grateful that You care so much for your people, that You have a plan to minister to us through those that You set apart. Thank You for their devotion to You and their dedication to Your people. Thank You, Lord, that You have honored me and all ministers Whom You have chosen in this way, to serve You faithfully by serving Your people… In Jesus’ Name.  Amen.
