Eighteen times. In these two chapters it says that the Israelites completed the work God told them to do "just as the Lord commanded," eighteen different times.
The work on the Holy Meeting Tent was completed "just as the Lord commanded" and the glory of the Lord came down and filled the tent. His presence was with them night and day. When the cloud moved—they moved. When the cloud stayed—they stayed. They waited. They waited on the glory of the LORD to lead them. They submitted. They submitted to the glory of the Lord's leading.
The lesson is simple: Do what the Lord says; and then—wait. Wait for Him to lead. This is how we deliberately live our lives now.
1) Do what the Lord says. To do what He says you have to know what He is saying. You have to be in the Word; you have to be praying; you have to be listening. And then you need to act on what He is saying. Knowing what He says means nothing if your aren't doing what He says.
2) After you have listened to what God says, and done what God says—then you wait. You wait for Him to lead, guide, and direct you. He will do that! Once God has our submission and obedience THEN He can and will lead.
