Outline For Scripture Union Daily Guide 29 April 2023

The portable tabernacle was the symbol of God’s presence among His people and a sanctuary that served as a place of worship while they made their journey from Egypt to the promise land. Observe God’s specific instruction to Moses about its construction (v.30). It should be as shown him on the mountain of the Lord.

Why do you think there is such precision as to the sizes, the colours and the materials of different parts used in the construction of the tabernacle? What do these tell you about the nature of God? Indeed, we serve a majestic God who deserves our worship in the beauty of holiness!

The tabernacle had two chambers; a holy place and a most holy place separated by a heavy veil. Thank God that when Christ died, the veil separating the holy place from the holy of holies in the temple which had replaced the tabernacle was torn into two symbolizing free access to God (Read Mark 15:38; Hebrews 10: 19 – 22).

Practice/Word Application
So What? God delights to dwell with His people. Purify your heart for Him to live in (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?

Prayer for the week
► Pray for the purpose of God to be achieved in your life.
