The Mirror's Reflection

Exodus 38: 8

Bezalel made the bronze washbasin and its bronze stand from bronze mirrors donated by the women who served at the entrance of the Tabernacle.

We use mirrors to view our own reflections. God had the washbasin made from mirrors. So, when I see my faults, failures, and imperfections in the mirror of the Word, then I am to immediately "wash up" by confessing and cleaning up my life, accepting God's forgiveness and cleansing, and forgiving myself. 

I don't want to be like the man who beheld his image in a mirror, then went on, forgetting what manner of man he was (see James 1:23-24).

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
