NUM343 Bring communal offerings daily in the Beis HaMikdash. The mitzvah of bringing offerings is explained [See [[EXOD940]] Exodus 25:8 sanctuary CHINUCH 62-5]. Those words can be applied to the tamid offering, too. This avodah is an obligation for us twice a day--at sunrise and in the afternoon--so that through its performance we will be inspired to focus all of our thoughts toward the Holy One. By nature, for the sake of his physical wellbeing, a person needs to eat twice a day, morning and evening. To ensure that our efforts for our bodies do not exceed our efforts for our souls, the Torah commands that twice a day we focus all our thoughts and energies on serving the Holy One. Through the mitzvah of the tamid offering, we are inspired to think of our Maker all the time, for a person is awakened only by means of his actions, while mere thoughts do not suffice. By always turning our desires and spirit towards our Maker, we merit His blessings.
