WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL

Week of Monday February 23 – March 1
Blessed Building – Man as Provider

Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. Throughout all their journeys, whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out. But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the day that it was taken up. For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.” - Exodus 40:34-38 ESV

When we come to the end of the book of Exodus, we come to the end of a sacred building project the tabernacle was constructed, the priests were consecrated, and the task was completed. This tabernacle would become the very place where Yahweh God would dwell among His people. In fact, God so completely filled the tabernacle with His glorious presence that not even Moses could enter it!

We have a sacred building project, too. I came across an article that makes a good point about what we are building:

Life is a matter of building. Each of us has the opportunity to build something … But some of those things can disappear almost overnight … What are we to do? Daniel Webster offered excellent advice, saying, “If we work on marble it will perish. If we work on brass, time will efface it. If we rear temples, they will crumble to dust. But if we work on men's immortal minds, if we imbue them with high principles, with just fear of God and love of their fellowmen, we engrave on those tablets something which time cannot efface, and which will brighten and brighten to all eternity.”

Building a godly character or a godly home takes planning, effort, and resources. That was true of the construction of the tabernacle, which God blessed with His presence upon its completion.
