Week 4 - Day 4


Exodus 24-26; Psalm 20

*Click here to read these passages:

All the details listed out in the Exodus passage today may not make for the most exciting reading ever, but the fact that God went into such detail shows us that this has great spiritual significance.  It helped me to read more about the tabernacle in Hebrews 9 today as well.  If you have time, click to read Hebrews 9 YouVersion(NIV). 

Where God really spoke to me today was in the Psalm. 

“May the Lord answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.”

‘The God of Jacob’…..  As we’re reading at the beginning, in the days of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses, I feel like God keeps telling me and showing me that He’s the same God today. 

The God who parted the sea….
The God who provided food from heaven every day….
The God who brought water out of a rock….
The God who used an ordinary guy to lead thousands and set them free from slavery….

The God of Jacob loves me, lives in me, protects me, answers me when I’m in distress.  He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 

Through the blood of Jesus we don’t need the tabernacle anymore and can come to God calling Him Father.  My gracious Father, but still my powerful God!
