Bible in a Year :
Set up the tabernacle according to the plan shown you on the mountain.
When Britain’s House of Commons was bombed in World War II, Prime Minister Winston Churchill told Parliament they must rebuild it according to its original design. It must be small, so debates would remain face-to-face. It must be oblong rather than semicircular, allowing politicians to “move around the center.” This preserved Britain’s party system, where Left and Right faced each other across the room, requiring careful thought before switching sides. Churchill concluded, “We shape our buildings and afterwards our buildings shape us.”
God seems to agree. Seven chapters in Exodus (chs. 25-31) give instructions on building the tabernacle, and six more (chs. 35-40) describe how Israel did it. God cared about their worship. When the people entered the courtyard, the gleaming gold and the tabernacle’s colorful curtains (26:1, 31-37) dazzled them. The altar of burnt offering (27:1-8) and water basin (30:17-21) reminded them of the cost of their forgiveness. The tabernacle contained a lampstand (25:31-40), bread table (25:23-30), altar of incense (30:1-6), and ark of the covenant (25:10-22). Each item held great significance.
God doesn’t give us detailed instructions for our worship space as He did with Israel, yet our worship is no less vital. Our very being is to be a tabernacle set apart for Him to dwell in. May everything we do remind us of who He is and what He does.
Reflect & Pray
What does your worship teach you about God and His love for you? What changes might you want to make?
Father, You’re worthy of my best worship.

Good word, perhaps we would do better if we did that in the US congress.
Thanks for posting about the auto cart sweetie.
I sure could’ve use that over my 50 years or so of gardening — would’ve made work a lot easier. I’ve had garden carts and I’ve had truck dollies and have used those to make my job easier. But this looks ideal and much stronger. I just purchased a truck dolly a couple weeks ago at a yard sale for $10. I’ve already used it a lot in moving mulch bags potted plants potting soil etc. Just like one of the men’s comments on the review area. It’s good to work smarter not harder
He did kind of have an agenda. He just wasn’t shoving it in your face as much as today’s media does.
OH! That first one! Every dress in Walmart is better than Jill’s in that pic. Seriously.
