Exodus 40:33 Then Moses set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and altar and put up the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard. And so Moses finished the work.
I sincerely believe that when I set aside time to sit with God, He shows up. Some mornings, I can absolutely tell it as my reflection practically writes itself. Some mornings, I can tell it because I need to hear exactly what the verses are about or I need to work on the same issues in my own life.
Exodus 40:34-35 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
Some mornings I think, “What am I even doing here? I’m just not sure. I’ve got so many questions. But I trust You, Lord. I know You are at work in this mess.” Ironically, those are usually the days when someone says, “I needed your words this morning. God was speaking to me. Thank you.”
Exodus 40:36-37 In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out; but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out—until the day it lifted.
Precious Savior, It is such a gift to sit with You each morning, to read Your word and listen for Your quiet voice to whisper to my heart. Thank You for the mornings that You speak directly to my life. Thank You for using my words to speak to others, especially on those days where I’m struggling. Draw me closer always. Amen.
Exodus 40:38 So the cloud of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the Israelites during all their travels.
Have a blessed day.
