The Treasures Of The Tent

The Treasures Of The Tent…

The Israelites had to build a tabernacle so that God’s presence would dwell with them. They were to build it using their own costly possessions and materials – their treasures.

We want to have a good relationship and walk with God, to know Him and be in His presence, but so often we’re careless. We give God leftovers of our time and wonder why we don’t have the kind of walk and life we should. Learn from the tabernacle.

God would only dwell in a tabernacle made of costly things. Knowing God and dwelling with God will cost you, but it’s worth it. It’ll cost you to have a glorious life, but the treasure is without price.

We must treasure our time with God, make Him the most precious thing in your day. Treasure God’s presence and the time you spend with Him- let it cost you. Give up things for it, your costly things.

You’ll have a true tabernacle, and God’s glory and presence will dwell with you and your life. You give Him your best, and God will do the same for you. For His best is what He’s done already.

But when you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Matthew 6:6

What costly thing in your life can you give up in order to be with God – a television show? Time on the internet, entertainment, and indulgence? Give that time instead to the Lord, to use to be in His presence.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
