Exodus from Exodus

I finished reading Exodus!

I liked how it ended with

34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. 35 Moses could not enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud had settled upon it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
36 In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out; 37 but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out—until the day it lifted. 38 So the cloud of the LORD was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel during all their travels.(Exodus 40)


God is Holy. It incredible to try to picture this.

In the end portion of Exodus, God gives a lot of direction to Moses with respect to how to set things up and how to do things. Sometimes, it would be easier if God were that specific these days! But again, the relationship is different and how He chooses to guide us is different.
