The Bells

 


  Thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron

                                                Exod. 28:2


Have we no garments of blue, and purple, and beautiful suggestiveness? We have garments of praise; we are clothed with the Lord Jesus. And have we no ornaments? The ornament of a meek and quiet spirit is, in the sight of God, of great price. And have we no golden bells? We have the golden bells of holy actions. Our words are bells, our actions are bells, our purposes are bells. Wherever we move, our motion is thus understood to be a motion towards holy places, holy deeds, holy character.

                                                Joseph Parker

Samuel G. Hardman and Dwight Lyman Moody, Thoughts for the Quiet Hour (Willow Grove, PA: Woodlawn Electronic Publishing, 1997).

The sound of bells accompanies our every movement as we move toward the presence of our Lord. Those around us take note of the actions of our movement. They are drawn to those who are like Christ but are unaware of the sound of the bells until they themselves are adorned with the bells.


May the good Lord bless and keep you safe. Remember to "Always Love The Details."
