Numbers 4 Packing for Moving

As we have seen over and over that God is the God of order and this also pertains to how he ordered the movement of the Tabernacle from one place to another. Aaron and his two remaining sons were given strict orders in how to prepare the furniture in the Holy Place. First they were to cover all with a blue cloth and then to cover that with a leather cloth. The leather would thus protect in inclement weather and also the sun’s harsh rays. How good is our God to give these men explicit instructions which they followed for years. How good are these men to be obedient. 

The lesson we learn from this chapter is that God desires obedience with clear instructions for Him to bless them. This is a beautiful reminder to us about  these same standards. The question before us is: Are we following God’s explicit instructions regarding the things pertaining to the house of God? I love how our church does this in the preparation of the communion elements which are covered until the appropriate time in the service. How about you? Are you obeying God in all His instructions whatever they may be?
