Just as the Lord commanded

In Exodus 35-40, we see the making of the tabernacle and God's acceptance of the work. What a great feeling that must have been. But wait, are you not also God's work? Is he accepting of you? Jesus might be able to help answer that one!

In Exodus' final chapters, we see Moses commanding the Israelites to build items in certain ways. Notice how many times it reads..."just as the Lord commanded Moses". Talk about paying attention and following through on instructions....we could all learn a lesson from Moses.

Remember, Moses was not doing this for his own glory, he didn't even want the job! He had fearful respect and love for the Lord, so he accepted that God had a purpose for even the tiniest detail. God has a purpose for the details in our lives too....
