**Leviticus 6:10** — *"And the priest shall put on his linen robe and linen undergarments, and he shall remove from the altar the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed and place them beside it."*
Before the morning sacrifice, before the congregation gathered, the priest dressed with care — then tended to what remained of yesterday's offering. The ashes. Not discarded. Set *beside* the altar with intention.
This is the steward's hidden work: honoring what has already been given. The sacrifice was spent, the fire gone cold — yet God prescribed a ritual of reverence even for the remnant.
Scripture reminds us that faithful service includes the unglamorous moments no one witnesses. The linen garments weren't ceremonial theater — they were covenant dignity worn into ordinary labor.
Consider the ashes in your own walk: the prayers offered, the seasons surrendered, the work already laid down. God does not overlook what the fire has consumed.
There is worship in the tending.
