I'm in a small group that is studying about the Tabernacle. It's fun to go through those Old Testament passages and rediscover the symbols and meanings. God directed the children of Israel to put the Tabernacle together as a reminder that he was with them in the wilderness.
This week, I read a devotion that referred back to the Tabernacle and encouraged us Christians to remember that God's presence is always with us - even now. Just as the Israelites carried the pieces of the Tabernacle from place to place, so we carry the presence of God with us. Because the Holy Spirit lives in us, we are a temple - a reminder to all that Emanuel - God is with us.
During this job search, it comforts me to know God is with me. When I worry about my son's health, it encourages me to know that God is also with him. As I do my daily tasks, knowing that God is with me helps me stay focused.
It's good to know today that the very presence of God is with me - and also with you.
