Exodus 26:26 “Also make crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,
As I was digging today, trying not to lose my mind about the fact that God is still waxing eloquent on the minute details of the tabernacle, I was reminded that Israel and Aaron are not a part of this conversation. This is just God and Moses up on Mt Sinai.
Exodus 26:27 five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle.
As much as I am crawling out of my skin, dealing with all these specifics, chomping at the bit to move on, move forward, Israel and Aaron are at the base of the mountain, twiddling their thumbs. They are even more impatient than I am. And their impatience leads them to idolatry, to focusing on, to worshipping, the wrong thing. Jesus, Help me.
Exodus 26:28 The center crossbar is to extend from end to end at the middle of the frames.
Precious Savior, Thank You for the reminder that I have to keep a handle on my impatience or it could easily lead me away from You and into sin. This world is so loud. There are so many things clamoring for my attention. Help me to quiet my soul and listen to Your still small voice. Help me, Jesus. Amen.
Exodus 26:29 Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.
Have a blessed day.
