💭 Food for Thought

This verse often surprises people because many of us have inherited traditions without ever asking, “What do the Scriptures actually say?”

Rather than accepting any practice simply because it is common or meaningful to others, let us search the Scriptures daily to see whether these things are so (Acts 17:11).

The goal is not to criticize traditions, but to lovingly return to YAHUAH’s Word and allow Scripture—not tradition—to shape our worship and our obedience.

What did you discover when you read Exodus 35:1–3 for yourself?
