Day 158 - Exodus Monday (chapters 37-40)
“Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.” (Exodus 40:34 ESV)
In obedience to God’s directives, Moses oversaw the building of the tabernacle. God then occupied the tabernacle and His people were blessed.
God has commanded His people today to gather where He is present. In our churches God comes to us through the Means of Grace. No, He does not come to church in the form of a cloud, but He is there in His Word and Sacraments. And we, too, are blessed. In church is where we receive the public proclamation of forgiveness and the comfort, strength and direction that come from His Word and the Lord’s Supper.
Dearest Lord Jesus, thank You for keeping Your promise to be wherever two or three gather in Your name. Please grant me a hunger for Your Word, and, therefore, a great desire to worship in Your house every week. In Jesus’ saving name I pray. Amen.
Worship is also 24/7. Therefore, live for Him who died for you today!
Pastor David Paape
