Exodus

From Exodus 26:1-6 NLT

Make the Tabernacle from ten sheets of fine linen. These sheets are to be decorated with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with figures of cherubim skillfully embroidered into them. Each sheet must be forty-two feet long and six feet wide. All ten sheets must be exactly the same size. Join five of these sheets together into one set; then join the other five sheets into a second set. Put loops of blue yarn along the edge of the last sheet in each set. The fifty loops along the edge of one set are to match the fifty loops along the edge of the other. Then make fifty gold clasps to fasten the loops of the two sets of sheets together, making the Tabernacle a single unit.

Wow. God sure likes to have everything exact. He is very descriptive, which makes me think. If God cares so much about this Tabernacle, how much more does he care about us. I mean, sure the Tabernacle is holy and needs to be made just right, granted, but God doesn't live in a man-made house anymore. He now lives inside us. Scary. The man-made Tabernacle was probably cleaner and holier than our hearts, but God doesn't care... he loves us anyway. Hallelujah.
