Exodus: The Tabernacle

The entire chapter of Exodus 26 is based on all the specific instructions from God on how to build the tabernacle, a place of holy worship and sacrifice for the Israelites to be in the presence of God. It constantly goes on to describe the types of fabric, having gold or silver everywhere, certain images, so specific to even where certain objects are placed.

Fearing God has been an ongoing theme in the past few posts, and to fear God is to realize his power, and how great he is. By simply reading all the materials, one can see that it has to be high quality, the best of the best because our great God simply deserves the best. We should be giving out best to Christ as well with our lives.

The Tabernacle was built for worship and offerings, it was an extremely sacred place, with many restrictions and rules so that it stays pure and holy. Whereas today, we dont need a tabernacle to worship Christ. We have the church, but its not only in the sanctuary when we can sing praises. Even in Canada, we are free to speak of our faith, and we should realize this and be thankful that we've been granted with such freedom. We can worship God wherever we like, however we like.

verse of the day: Colossians 3:16

¹⁶ Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.
