It was a big deal. The people were going to be in the presence of God himself. They needed to prepare themselves to come before the Creator of heaven and earth. The dulling effect of daily life left them in need of retooling their minds and hearts in order to be ready to meet with God.
Do you suppose that we need a time of preparation of reflection of retooling ourselves so that we can come before Him. Do you think a time of reflection on self and a time set aside for devotion to God might be in order to overcome the dulling effect of the daily grind in which we live?
Does is not make sense that a daily quiet time in which you set aside the normal pull of the world and focus on your relationship with God would be extremely helpful if not vital to your walk with Him? Even though we live under grace instead of law, is not God still God and man still man?
We don't have to earn the right to come into His presence, Christ already qualified us on the cross. We don't have to cleanse ourselves from sin to come into His holy presence, that too was accomplished at the cross. But do we not need to tune our hearts and set our minds on His presence?
