034 Exodus 38 – 40; John 21
The people of Israel did what “God had commanded Moses.” Four times on pg. 170 we find those words. They are great words of an astonishing feat. These people came together and made something they had never seen for a God they are just becoming reacquainted with after 430 years. They completed the work and then handed it over to Moses.
Moses had some things he had to do inside the meeting place. The bible says, "Moses finished the work." The very next paragraph we read that "The cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the Glory of God filled the Dwelling." God used His presence to guide His people. Read that paragraph carefully and you get a beautiful picture of our Shepherd, God.
God still uses His presence to guide us. It is the Spirit of God who lives inside us. God wants to walk with Him, not ahead of Him. We must keep in step with His Spirit. For today it is prayer that we stay in touch with His presence.
May you be guided by His presence today.

The willingness and openhandedness for which these people had presented the gifts required for this work, and the enthusiasm in executing and completing the work in so little time was reassuring their willingness to serve the Lord and receive His blessings.
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome reminder of how we should act in serving our Lord. To be willing to give what ever it takes to serve Him. Lord give me the compassion to serve You in this manner, Amen!
