As we read
through this chapter, we are easily reminded of three lessons in our not so
distant past. First of all, this chapter
continues to be full of obedience. The
items for worship are made as God desires.
They aren’t improved upon. They
aren’t casually made. They are made to
God’s standard with precision and accuracy.
There is joy in this kind of obedience.
Second, you
will notice that the implements that are made are all made with rings and
poles. They are made for movement. God mission is a mobile mission. We are to follow God wherever he goes.
Third, notice
that the poles are overlaid with gold.
They are overlaid with gold to help keep them intact and unaffected by
the weather and time. Not only is God’s
mission on the move, but it is always on the move. It is always moving and shifting to wherever
there is a heart and a place that is open to Him. God wants us to be prepared to join Him now,
tomorrow, and deep into the future. Our commitment
to Him is lifelong, even generational. God’s
work will continue long after the death of the workmen who fashioned these
things and the people who donated the material resources.
