“Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them. Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you."

Exodus 25-28

 “Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them. Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you." Exodus 25:8-9

Day 28 of my chronological study of the Bible with The Daily Bible® - In Chronological Order (NIV®) (available by purchase through Amazon - author F. LaGard Smith) focuses on God's instructions to Moses for the construction of the tabernacle and priestly garments - no detail is spared.

My commentary* indicates "[t]he details of the blueprints given to Moses, as well as the descriptions of priestly garments, not only arouse one’s fascination but also suggest that no detail of man’s worship of God is too small for God’s concern".

God wants us to listen to what He tells us to do and to be obedient - He cares about the details of our our worship/prayers and we should be grateful for this.

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are a God that is beyond my imagination - I know I can never fully grasp how much You love me or how much You care about the smallest details of my life and my worship.  You call me to be a living sacrifice and I desire to be.  I am thankful for Your love but undeserving as my sacrifice and worship I know falls short of what You ask.  Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You love me.  Help me grow in my faith.  Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength.  Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo.  Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior.  Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin.  Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others.  Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
