If God Told You to Build a Tabernacle... (Day 25/365)

Day 25: Exodus 25-27

Main People:

Moses, Aaron, Israelites

Key Points:

*We’ve got to a part that’s either really easy to get through… or really difficult. It’s monotonous because you read basically the same things over and over, but it is important.

*One thing that really stuck out to me is that these people are in the wilderness. It’s not like they can go to their local Lowe’s, Home Depot, or Wal-mart and get this stuff to make a tabernacle. They had to use what they’d taken from Egypt (what God had given them) and construct this huge monster of a building. It’s pretty incredible what God can do J

*We now have the plans to build the: Ark of the Covenant, Table, Lamp stand, Tabernacle, Altar for burnt offerings, Courtyard, and Lights.

Verses that Jumped Out at Me:

Exodus 25:1-2—The Lord said to Moses, “Tell the people of Israel to bring me their sacred offerings. Accept the contributions from all whose hearts are moved to offer them.”

Question:

If someone (or God) told you to do something ‘great’ (like build everything they were told to—or speak like Moses—or free a nation—or even talk to one person about Him, what would you think? How do you think you’d react?
