The Glory of His Presence

As the book of Exodus draws to a close, God's presence among His people is cemented through the building of His tabernacle and His provision for His people in the wilderness. In Exodus 40, we see that God desires to be worshipped according to His will. He instructs Moses regarding the instructions to build the tabernacle and Moses thoroughly obeys. After the tabernacle is completed, the cloud of God's presence is pleased to dwell in the tabernacle and lead His people on their journey. From this side of the cross, we are reminded and grateful that the veil was torn and the Helper has come so God may make His home among us, knowing that one day we will see Him face to face.
