Exodus 36-40 Construction Done -- Putting It Together

The work was finished and all of it was brought to Moses to be inspected, and when it all passed, the tabernacle was constructed.  

"God could not and would not dwell in the tabernacle unless everything was done according to the pattern He showed Moses on the mount ... the glory of God filled the tabernacle and abode there ... So powerful was the presence of God's glory that Moses wasn't able to enter the tabernacle!" my commentary said.

It continued, "Too many sincere people have tried to do God's work their own way and then have asked God to bless it.  But ministry doesn't work that way.  First we find out what God wants us to do, and we do it to glorify Him.  If we obey His will and seek to honor His name, then He will come and bless the work with His powerful presence."

Father, thank You for again allowing me to minister to a great group of middle school guys.  I love their boundless energy.  Guide it to glorify You and show them that You hear and answer their prayers.  Start now to build more Christian guys the way You've faithfully done over the 27 years You've had me working for Your ministry.

 

Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
