“Just as the Lord Commanded.” Exodus 40:34

Posted bySteven WalesPosted inObedienceTags:, ,

In Exodus 39 and 40, the artisans used their crafts to build the tabernacle. Do you know what the tabernacle is? If the temple is God’s House, the tabernacle is God’s mobile home: it could be moved.

The artists and craftsmen obeyed God in EVERY DETAIL. The result: God’s glory.

39:1— “They made … garments … just as the Lord commanded Moses.”
39:5— “…just as the Lord had commanded Moses.”
39:7— “…just as the Lord commanded Moses.”
39:21— “They did just as the Lord commanded Moses.”

This pattern continues. The phrase “just as the Lord commanded Moses” is repeated SEVENTEEN times. The craftsmen were perfectly obedient in all that they did.

The RESULT?

“The glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.” Exodus 40:34.

APPLICATION?

If we follow God, carefully doing all that He commands, then His glory will descend on us. If you want to see God do amazing things in your life, do like Moses, and do everything “just as the Lord commanded.”

Dad's Daily Devotional began as text messages to my family. I wanted my teenagers to know their father was reading the Bible. But they were at school by then. Initially, I sent them a favorite verse or an insight based on what I read each day. That grew into drafting a devotional readng which I would send them via text. I work as an attorney and an adjunct professor, and recently wrote a book called HOW TO MAKE A'S.
