**Leviticus 8:28** — *"Then Moses took these from their hands and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD."*
Notice what Moses does here: he *receives* what the priests have offered, then completes the act himself. The priests could not consecrate their own ordination. Another's hands were required.
This is the covenant pattern throughout Scripture. Aaron and his sons were set apart not by their own merit, but through a mediating act — Moses standing between them and the altar. Hebrews 7:25 echoes this forward: Christ intercedes for those who draw near to God through Him.
We do not ordain ourselves into God's presence. We are *received* — our offering taken, transformed, and presented as something pleasing before the LORD.
Walk with that today. Whatever you bring to God, however incomplete it feels — there is a Mediator who carries it to the altar.
Scripture reminds us: we are held, not self-made.
