I long to see the glory of God! When I think how wonderful all the elements of the tabernacle must have looked I want to see the creator of it all so much more! I am reminded by how much more I need God in my life.
At this point God has occupied the tabernacle with a cloud by day and fire by night. What a sight that would have been to see. The splendor of the whole tabernacle would have been overshadowed by the awesome Glory of God. Continue Reading…
I sometimes think that I take God all too lightly. When I look at the statues and commands that were laid down for the Israelites to follow I feel wholly inadequate. This is an absolutely perfect place to be because it shows me how much I actually need Jesus Christ in my life. I cannot do anything to increase my merit with God.

Have we as a culture become too busy to think about life, pain, and hope? I look at my digital life and find that I spend a lot of time browsing, playing, listening, and e-mailing. That is not necessarily bad, but what am I forgetting?
The bar has been set in my mind. I work and toil to reach the bar but when it seem within my grasp I trip and fall back. I measure my life from failure to failure. When did I enroll in this rat race? Is there a need to put on a good show as a christian? Is there a bar to be reached?
Christ came to the lost and found department of this world to claim as His own my lost, discarded, forgotten, and broken life. What a thought that is. Continue Reading…
