The details found in Chapter 25 through today's reading and beyond are incredible. They are almost too mind boggling to read.
Moses was on the mountain (third time) for 40 days. During that time God was giving him detailed instructions on how the Israelites were to proceed. Four different times in these chapters (Exodus 25:9; 25:40; 27:8; and 29:35) God tells Moses to "be very careful" to follow the plan He had given him. God's plans were extremely detailed, yet it was the people who were to fulfill them. They were to bring the items to make them and they were to be the craftsmen as well. God promised to meet the Israelites at the entrance of the meeting tent. Exodus 29:46 - "They will know that I am the Lord their God who led them out of Egypt so that I could live with them. I am the LORD their God."
Our God is a God of details. No matter what the circumstances we may face, HE is in total control. He has a plan. It will be fulfilled exactly when He ordains. Exodus 12:41 - "On the very day..."; Exodus 19:1 - "Exactly three months after..."
God is in control. We are to do what He has shown us to do. As we wait on Him we can be confident that He will fulfill his promises. We know He is the LORD our God.
