"One lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even... This shall be a continual burnt offering... where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.... And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon.... And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning" (Exodus 29:39-42, 30:1-7).
Morning by morning and night after night,
A lamb would be offered, and God would speak there.
Likewise each morning the priest would ignite
The altar of incense that symbolized prayer.
These were the shadows portraying our walk,
Displaying the privilege of daily communion.
By one Lamb we meet and we hear the Lord talk;
We speak to Him also in prayerful reunion.
How great is salvation in all its perfection,
That we should have access to God in this way!
How great is our need of this daily connection,
That we should commune with our Lord everyday!
