How to apply Exodus 29:22 daily?
How can we apply the principles of consecration from Exodus 29:22 daily?

The verse in focus

“Take from the ram the fat, the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the lobe of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh, for this is a ram of ordination.” (Exodus 29:22)


Key truths gleaned from Exodus 29:22

• God Himself specifies the parts—He alone defines what consecration looks like.

• The choicest portions (fat, right thigh) are set apart—only the best is fit for Him.

• Every hidden part is included—consecration reaches the unseen recesses of life.

• The act is tied to ordination—ongoing service flows from wholehearted surrender.


Living these principles every day

• Start each morning by consciously yielding your “best portions.”

– Offer your freshest thoughts and highest energy to the Lord before other tasks.

Romans 12:1—“present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing.”

• Give God the “fat” of your schedule.

– Block prime time, not leftover moments, for Scripture reading and meditation (Psalm 5:3).

– Guard it as untouchable except for emergencies.

• Let consecration reach the hidden places.

– Submit motives, private browsing, secret attitudes.

Psalm 139:23–24—invite Him to search and purify the inner man.

• Offer the “right thigh” of strength.

– Use physical ability, skills, and influence in concrete acts of service: helping neighbors, volunteering at church, mentoring youth (Galatians 6:10).

• Practice ongoing ordination.

– Renew the covenant of service throughout the day: quick prayers of dedication before meetings, errands, conversations (Colossians 3:17).

• Treat possessions as already on the altar.

– Budget with open hands, viewing money and property as God’s resources (Proverbs 3:9).

– Give generously, promptly, cheerfully (2 Corinthians 9:7).

• End each day in thankful surrender.

– Reflect on where His ownership was honored; confess where it wasn’t (1 John 1:9).

– Rest, knowing you belong to Him entirely—body, soul, and spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:23).


The fruit of practiced consecration

• Deeper intimacy—His presence felt in the ordinary.

• Greater usefulness—service flows naturally, not forced.

• Undiluted joy—freedom from divided loyalties (Matthew 6:24).

• Steadfast assurance—you are set apart for His purposes today, tomorrow, and forever.
