About this listen
Today’s readings invite us to reflect on the relationship between belief and practice, as Exodus and Matthew together highlight the importance of alignment in the life of faith. Both passages point toward a God who cares deeply about how His people live, not just what they know or say, and they echo the call to live what we believe.
In Exodus 36-38, God’s people carefully construct the tabernacle according to His instructions, demonstrating slow, deliberate obedience that reflects trust and attentiveness. The work unfolds with patience and intention, revealing a God who shapes His people through faithful follow-through rather than hurried performance.
In Matthew 23, Jesus addresses leaders whose teaching is accurate but whose lives no longer mirror their words. He presses on the tension between appearance and reality, inviting a deeper humility that values service and integrity over recognition and status.
Together, these passages invite us to notice the direction of our lives, not just the language of our faith. They open space to consider where belief is naturally embodied and where it may drift into something performative, leaving the question open to quiet reflection.
