Details... details... details!
That pretty much sums up today's chapters. Wow! How could all these details possibly mean anything to us?
Obviously, God had some specific instructions on how He wanted Moses to construct the objects that would symbolize His presence and Glory amongst the Israelite people. Although we may not understand all the specifics of the proposed building project, I believe that through them we catch a glimpse of one of God's most amazing attributes... His Creativity!
Creative Genius...
Just think about all the things that God has created. I mean its pretty much... EVERYTHING! Just think about being the one who first conceived water, air, the sun, the moon, animals, people, etc. Not only did He create these things and many more, but he had a specific purpose and plan for everything to affect the other. I can hear the Lion King "Circle of Life" song in my head now! It's hard to fathom that kind of creativity and genius.
That's what's so cool (and overwhelming) about Exodus 25-26. We see God actually communicating these creative details to people. We notice that He doesn't just say, "build me a box for my stuff and a room to Worship me in," he gives a clear blueprint for the build.
God isn't just specific about those things only. We can know for sure that since God created us, He has just as specific of a plan for our lives. It's all mapped out. No surprises for Him. He knows the details and wants to reveal more of them to us everyday. So now that we are convinced that God is definitely into details, are you willing to continue trusting Him with yours?
