I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

Exodus 26. “Also make crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle. The center crossbar is to extend from end to end at the middle of the frames. Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold. Set up the tabernacle according to the plan shown you on the mountain” (Verses 26-30). The other reason God was so specific? Obedience. Would they follow His directions to the letter? Our walk with God calls for obedience, the kind where we do what He says because we love Him and not because we’re scared. . We obey despite what we see in our world around us, despite the voices of people saying you’re crazy. We obey despite our feelings and emotions. Obedience is doing what God says, no matter what the cost. No matter how silly it seems. No matter how hard it gets.
