We complete Exodus today. These last few chapters have been all about the building of and directions for the Tabernacle. You may have found this reading tedious or redundant...how many times do we have to read the same regulation? Evidently a few!
All the directions caused me to think about where I worship. How important are the externals to your worship experience? Does the beauty of the sanctuary lead you to worship? Do the symbols of our faith lead you to worship - things like the cross, the altar, the communion cup and bread, the liturgical colors, the stained glass windows? How does music affect your worship time?
When we consider how much effort God asked of his people regarding the tabernacle, it implies to me God wants some effort on our part in worship. We need to appreciate our surroundings as a tool for worship. I am interested in what you think about this. Please comment.
