A Tabernacle In My Wilderness - Video

Greater Life Church

We've all experienced difficult times. These times of struggle can feel like we are lost in the wilderness. We feel as if we are wandering in circles and being pulled away from our dreams. There are no shortcuts through the wilderness. God takes us on these journeys to teach or prepare us for something; we must go through them to learn the lesson. This was the case with Israel. Because of their disobedience and lack of faith, God took them on a forty-year journey in the wilderness to prepare them to enter the promised land. However, even in this wandering, God made a way for His people to commune with Him. God established the Tabernacle as a place for his people to receive comfort and encouragement. The specifications and details of the tabernacle were exact, and each detail had a purpose. The tabernacle was a tent that the children of Israel had to set up each time they moved. It was a lot of effort, but it was all worth it because when they finished setting it up, the presence of God moved in. And this was not a one-time thing—the Tabernacle and the presence of God were with them as they wandered for those 40 years. God may take us through a wilderness, but he provides a safe place of refuge where we can commune with Him.
