Exodus 40:12-16: in context

As the tabernacle is completed and Aaron and his sons are consecrated as priests, the account closes this section with a refrain that recurs throughout the building of the tabernacle. After the instructions for washing, clothing, and anointing the priests, we read: Moses did so. According to all that the LORD commanded him, so he did. Again and again in these chapters, the work is described and then sealed with this note: Moses did all that the LORD commanded, exactly as he commanded, leaving nothing out and adding nothing.

The refrain that runs through the account of the tabernacle, Moses did according to all that the LORD commanded, points to the beauty of complete and exact obedience. Moses did not carry out God's instructions selectively, doing the parts that suited him and leaving the rest; he did all that God commanded. Nor did he do them approximately, in his own way; he did them exactly as commanded. His obedience was full and precise, carrying out all of God's instructions, exactly as given. And Scripture marks this repeatedly, as though to hold it up: Moses did all that the LORD commanded, so he did. This holds up a standard for our own obedience. Our obedience is often partial, doing the parts of God's will that suit us while neglecting the rest, or approximate, doing roughly what God says but adjusted to our own preference. Moses' obedience was different: complete, doing all that God commanded, and exact, doing it as God commanded. This is the obedience God desires, not a selective or approximate obedience, but a full and faithful carrying out of all that he says. You shall observe to do, Moses tells Israel, as the LORD has commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right or the left. Complete, exact obedience, leaving nothing out and adding nothing of our own. This searches the quality of our obedience. Do we obey God fully, doing all that he commands, or selectively, keeping the parts that suit us? Do we obey exactly, as he commands, or approximately, adjusted to our own preference? Whatever he says to you, Mary told the servants, do it; and complete, exact obedience does all that God says, as he says it. Moses' example, carrying out all that God commanded exactly, holds up the beauty of a servant who does fully and faithfully what God says. This calls us to complete and exact obedience. The refrain over the tabernacle's building, Moses did all that the LORD commanded, so he did, holds up an obedience that is full and precise, not selective or approximate. And we are called to the same: to do all that God commands, not the parts that suit us; and to do it faithfully as he commands, not adjusted to our own preference, carrying out his will completely and exactly, as Moses did all that the LORD commanded him.

Is my obedience to God full and exact, or is it selective, doing the parts that suit me while neglecting the rest, and approximate, doing roughly what God says but adjusted to my own preference, and can the refrain over the building of the tabernacle, Moses did according to all that the LORD commanded him, so he did, move me to a complete and exact obedience, doing all that God commands and doing it faithfully as he commands, rather than a partial or approximate obedience shaped to my own liking?
