“The glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle.” (Exodus 40:34)

Moses met regularly with God and talked with Him. Sometimes God talked to Moses on the mountain and sometimes in the Tent of Meeting. When they talked, God would tell Moses how to lead the people and to give him instructions. One of the instructions that God gave Moses was to build a Tabernacle.

God wanted the people to know that He was with them, so gave instructions to Moses to build a special place where the people could worship Him. He even gave special skills to two men, Bezalel and Oholiab, to make many of the special items that would be required. Being able to have God near was serious business—they needed a special Tabernacle, they needed assigned and trained priests and they needed to know how to apologize when they made mistakes and present gifts to Him called sacrifices.

When the Tabernacle was completed, God showed the people that He intended to be with them. A cloud covered the Tabernacle—this was a sign for the people. When the cloud stayed over the Tabernacle, the people stayed put; when the cloud lifted, the people prepared to move. God was with them and showing them how they could stay close to Him too.

Think about it...
• Moses met often with God in the Tent of Meeting. Why?
• God gave special directions for making a Tabernacle. What’s a Tabernacle?
• Once it was finished, God showed the people that He intended to stay with them. What did He do?
• If we believe in Jesus, God’s spirit lives in us. We’re kind of like a Tabernacle too! How should we behave knowing that God lives in us?

Prayer: Thank you, God, that you want to have a close relationship with me. Sorry for the times I haven’t been careful to live in a way that is loving. Help people to see you in my life!
