Exodus 26:1 “Make the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by a skilled worker.
I have been upfront with my struggles about all the gold and specificity of the Ark of the Covenant. But I do understand that God is building a holy dwelling and that He is giving the Israelites something to hold onto.
Exodus 26:2 All the curtains are to be the same size—twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide.
And I understand the human need to have something to hold on to, a touchstone to help one feel grounded in life’s chaos. Life without that touchstone can be so hard.
Exodus 26:3 Join five of the curtains together, and do the same with the other five.
Precious Savior, Thank You for Your loving kindness, for Your understanding of what we need, for the touchstones You’ve left for us so we can feel grounded. Help me, when I am at loose ends, to grab hold of You alone. Amen.
Exodus 26:4 Make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and do the same with the end curtain in the other set.
Have a blessed day.
