Moses and the Israelites complete the tent of meeting and all the goes along with God's tabernacle in Exodus 37-40. Moses shows us what it looks like to not only hear God but also to follow through with His instructions down to the last detail. The ark, the table, the lamp stand, the altars for incense and burnt offerings, the basin for washing, the courtyard, the priestly garments, and final set-up of it all, all these things are under Moses tender loving care and God's direction. It's amazing to see this huge project for God come together. Today's reading is a great example of the amazing things that can be done when we are willing to follow God's call in our lives.
God blesses Moses' faithfulness again and again. He has God's favor on his side. And don't we all want and need that? Moses shows us the simplicity of what it means to be faithful.
Moses spends time alone with God. He listens to Him and His call. He follows His instruction, step by step. He trusts God to provide. He continues to worship God with thanksgiving.
God comes through for Moses. He comes through for us too. And when we say "yes" to what God has in mind for our lives, we are able to witness and feel His powerful and glorious presence with us.
In Christ, each day is a chance to say "yes" to God and see His glory. Thank You, Lord!
A prayer for today-
May God bless you and keep you,

38 So the cloud of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the Israelites during all their travels.
