Day 44

Exodus 37:1-39:31.  “Lost in the Details”

I recently returned from a retreat with some middle school boys.  While at this retreat, I discovered that they can easily get lost in the details of a story and totally miss the point.  I hope that isn’t the case for you as you read this passage today.  I say that because, in the middle of all those details, is a simple phrase “just as the Lord had commanded Moses.”  All of those details were important because they were commanded by God.  It is not as though the craftsmen could have changed their minds and disregarded the instructions from God.  They followed every single detail God had given them
God gave them great detail on the tabernacle and he gives us detail on how to live as well.  So, are you willing to live life God’s way?  Or are you going to ignore God’s instructions on how to live?  The craftsmen of Israel were willing to follow God’s instruction and build His way.  If you will do the same, your life will be one of beauty just like the tabernacle was.
