Even though believers know that God is omnipresent, we still, sometimes, need something tangible in order to keep reassuring us of God’s presence in our lives. One example is the way God gives tangible answers to our prayers. For the ancient Israelites, God also built the Tabernacle to serve as a physical reminder of His covenant faithfulness. Pastor Sonny explains what we can learn from this and how it impacts us as Christians today.
Exodus 25:1–9
25:1 The LORD said to Moses, 2 “Speak to the people of Israel, that they take for me a contribution. From every man whose heart moves him you shall receive the contribution for me. 3 And this is the contribution that you shall receive from them: gold, silver, and bronze, 4 blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, goats’ hair, 5 tanned rams’ skins, goatskins, acacia wood, 6 oil for the lamps, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, 7 onyx stones, and stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece. 8 And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst. 9 Exactly as I show you concerning the pattern of the tabernacle, and of all its furniture, so you shall make it.
