*HIS KNACK FOR ORDER*
📜📜“`TEXT:EXODUS 26:15-30“`📜📜
🔑📖“`KEY VERSE:“` _*”And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount” (EXODUS 26:30).*_
*In many societies nowadays, the collapse of buildings and other architectural structures is on the rise. Experts have blamed the unfortunate trend on the refusal or inability of some construction engineers to stick to the recommended specifications. Sadly, a good number of people have died prematurely as a result of such accidents resulting from the collapse of buildings.*
*While death tolls continue to rise, some building contractors and their employers have remained unperturbed. The death of fellow citizens means nothing to them. On the contrary, our God takes into account every minute thing, hence, His instructions and specification for the tabernacle.*
*The almighty God did not just abandon the job of decision making or the choice of building materials to the builders. He saw the need to give a prior directive. This was to ensure the beauty, acceptability and durability of the structure.*
*The passage is a challenge to every true believer. The Christian journey calls for implicit obedience. Questioning divine instructions is wilful disobedience. Israel did not look at the complicated nature of the instructions on the pattern of the tabernacle, neither did they brush the instructions aside. They stuck to it even when it was difficult to obey.*
*Likewise, we must be ready to obey all of God’s instructions. Our prayer should be that He should grant us, first, a willing heart; and second, the grace to obey without murmur. It is, however, important to note that believers are the authentic tabernacle of God, for He does not dwell in tabernacles built by hands. We are to ensure that our Christian life is strong enough to withstand every adverse weather.*
