Moses makes new tablets -->> The Cloud and the Glory

 Moses went up to the Mountain and made new tablets for the ten commandments. The covenant between God and Israel was renewed. God told them He would do things that had never been done or seen before. Moses came back to the people after being with the Lord for 40 days and 40 nights. His face glowed from where he was in the presence of the Lord. It scarred the people so he would wear a mask when around the people. The Lord reiterated the sabbath regulations. The Lord instructed Moses to have the people give an offering for the tabernacle. The Artisans made the articles for the tabernacle. The offerings were presented for the tabernacle. The Artisans were instructed what the Lord wanted for the making of the tabernacle. The peoples offering were exceeded and the Lord shut them off. The building of the tabernacle started by the artisans. The artisans make the ark of the testimony as the Lord instructed Moses. They continued to make the table for the showbread, the gold lampstand, the altar of incense,the anointing oil and the insece. They made the altar of burnt offering, the bronze Laver, the court of the tabernacle was constructed. The materials of the tabernacle were very extensive and listed thoroughly. They made the garments of the priesthood, the ephod, the breastplate, other priestly garments. All the work for the tabernacle and its contents were finally completed. The tabernacle was erected on the first day of the second year. The cloud of the Lord's presence hovered and then now that the tabernacle was erected the Glory of the Lord filled the Holy of Holies. 

Exodus 34-40 -

Now finally after a year of freedom and all the teaching of the Lords directions to the people, the tabernacle was erected. The people could finally start wholly living out the directions from the  Lord.  This is a reflection upon my walk with the Lord as well. It all starts off kinda rocky and non-compliant but after a bit of head banging comes around to more compliant leadings. 

Lord may you have all the honor glory and praise that my human body can give to you. Thank you for all you have done for me Father and for all you continue to do. I love you Father and wish to know you more with each breath I take. I pray all this in the loving precious wonderful gracious name of Christ Jesus, Amen!
