Happy Valentines Day! May the Lord be the lover of our soul!
God chose Aaron to be the priest over his people even though he messed up and made a golden calf and lied about it. God is a god of mercy, second-chances, forgiveness and love. It is amazing his compassion toward us.
Today we have the list of all the equipment it took to make up the tabernacle and the kind of worship he required. It was quite a list. The end of our reading says that they moved when the cloud moved. Sometimes it was during the day and sometimes at night. Sometimes it was after a day and sometimes after a year. When the cloud moved, they had to not only pack up their own tents and belongings but disassemble the tabernacle and pack it all up.
God has made it so easy for us living in grace. We carry the tabernacle in our heart. We can access the presence of God in a matter of seconds. The Holy Spirit is always with us. I would love to have a visible cloud to tell me when to move and when to stay. But then, we do have the witness of the Holy Spirit in our spirit that moves us.
Lord, thank you for the Holy Spirit. Thank you that you dwell in our hearts in mercy, love and compassion. Help us to reach out today with Your love.
