With the same intentionality that all the furnishings of the Tabernacle were created, so too God is at work building us to function in our churches! In these chapters, we read about the Ark, Table, Lampstand, Altar of Incense, Altar of Burnt Offerings, Bronze Basin, Courtyard, Priestly Garments, Ephod, Breastplate, Robe, Garments, and the Holy Diadem. Have you ever thought that within you, God is also at work creating such a breadth of capacities so that you can serve Him? And that within your church, He is creating a similar diversity of people who will together accomplish the work of worship and revealing His glory to your community?
I love how in 39:32-43 we read Moses inspecting all the work that had been done. Check out what Jesus said the ministry of the Holy Spirit is about in John 16:5-15...sound familiar? He is the inspector of our hearts and our churches, measuring what He finds against what God has commanded...what is He finding in you...what is He finding in your church...may it be all that The Father has desired!
