Ex. 37

On the ark the table and the alter the Israelites had to attach rings so that the priests could slide poles through so as to carry the objects. This speaks of the holiness of God. As relational as HE is HE is holy and deserving of our worship. HE also means it when HE says HE hates sin. I am guilty of not paying attention to this part of HIS character because it scares me to death and because I really struggle with performance based love but Jesus is the only way that we can come to GOD and HE is the only way that we are viewed as holy. I am guilty of forgetting that and GOD please forgive me for it. In JESUS name. GOD loves sinners and HE loves us but I forget HIS wrath upon sinners as well becasue HE hates sin. I thank you Jesus for dying for me so that God can not look on me and be angry. I think HE alsways saw me with love but I think HE must have seen me with anger as well and HOLY Spirit I don't understand how those two truths can be together but I ask that YOU will let me see In Jesus name. I know my fear stems from not understanding that truth and also from not seeing my relatinship now in relation to how God views me thtough Christ

ex. 36

Continuing form chapter 35 God had filled the tribe of Dan with designs and skills to build His tabernacle. Like the NT writers God did not dictate to them the exact design but instead filled them with His power and inspiration and also allowed them to use their own mind and ideas and becasue He is so big and above and other from us His exact purposes were fulfilled while allowing the artists to use their own freewill and abilities that God had given them. God respected their person while still arriving at His purposes.
