The entire chapter was a
repeating refrain…they made. They made all the furnishings and the tent for the
tabernacle.
The gathered community
united in one common goal to build a place of presence and worship for the Lord.
Everyone pitched in, everyone gave time and resources and skills to get the job
done! This chapter is an incredible picture of focus and
resolve…
What would God have us do
today to reach a similar end? With the coming of Jesus, the presence of God in
the world is no longer localized in a tabernacle or temple. The presence of God
is now within the people of God individually and collectively. Therefore it
seems to me if we are to ‘build’ the presence of God in our world and expand the
worship of God in our world, the collective focus of God’s people today must be
to make disciples unto the ends of the earth…
Oh, that the church would
have the resolve to make disciples like the OT people had to build the
tabernacle!
Lord, show me
all the things I can do to build Your presence and increase the worship of You
in my world at this time. Show me, Lord, show
me…
For Your
glory. Amen.
