HE IS IN THE DETAILS
Today's reading: Exodus 37-40

"So the people of Israel followed all of the Lord's instructions to Moses. Moses inspected all their work and blessed them because it had been done as the Lord had commanded him." Exodus 39:42-43 NLT

Today's reading encompasses a lot of the details about how the Tabernacle was built.

It gives us dimensions, materials, colors and intricate design descriptions.

It describes the design layout of the building. It gives specifics regarding the utensils and adornments in the Tabernacles itself and it even goes so far as to describe the special clothing made for Aaron and the priests--right down to their underwear.

Why all the details? Why is it necessary in the Bible? Why in the world would we need to know all this?

Here is why: God is in the details.

He wants us to know He is involved in our lives down to the second, not just to the lifetime we live.

He has created us, intricate beings, to point to the fact that His creation astounds and amazes.

He majors in the details of our lives so that we will know how very truly, deeply, intimately and vastly we are loved by Him.
