Exodus 26 "A Place of Beauty"

Here in chapter 26 we are going to look at the construction of the curtains for the Tabernacle (vv.1-13), the covering for the tent (v.14), the boards for building the Tabernacle (vv.15-30), the veil to separate the Most Holy Place from the Holy of Holies, to serve as a partition (vv.31-33). The Lord even commands Moses as to where to put the furniture for the Tabernacle, and how to construct the veil on the entrance into the Tabernacle (vv.34-37). Even the fittings, hooks, rings, sockets, material and colors to be used were all laid out here for Moses to follow to complete this place of beauty.

Not only did our LORD give great attention to every detail in the construction of His tabernacle, He also gave the same attention to detail in His construction of us. The LORD sees you and I as His workmanship. He is chipping away at us constantly forming and shaping us into what He would have us to be. We are the clay in the hands of the Master Craftsman who will make us into a thing of beauty if we will just submit to His Lordship in our lives.  

The Truth: “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:10)
