God is love and God is good and everything He tells us to do or not to do is for our own good. We can trust Him to know what is best for us! And as I read through the laws given to Moses I noticed one interesting one that affects us today as well: […]

The Tabernacle of God has been built and all the duties of the priests and the people have been assigned to them. I think a lot can be said about the Tabernacle and God willing I will one day write about the significance and symbolism of the Tabernacle and subsequently the Temple of God. But […]
The tabernacle has been completed and the Israelites did a wonderful job. It was precisely as He had commanded and to show that He was pleased with it, His glorious presence entered into the Tabernacle and He resided there with them.

God gave Moses the instructions on everything concerning the building of the Tabernacle and Moses followed all the instructions down to the letter. He did everything exactly as God had commanded him.

Last week we saw that sins have consequences and the Israelites quickly learned that lesson after they worshipped the calf of gold. They were quite aware that they were supposed to worship God alone. Now due to this incident, God spoke to Moses in the Tent of Meeting and told him that He couldn’t continue […]
The Israelites built their own god the moment Moses went up Mount Sinai to hear God’s instructions. They sent Moses to God, because they didn’t want to hear what He was saying themselves. They told Moses that God must speak to him and then they will listen and do what he tells them. Now while […]
Moses was up on Mount Sinai, in the presence of the Lord, carefully listening to His instructions regarding the Tabernacle, the priests and His covenant with Israel.
