Tents

Bible Reading : Exodus 40:17-38

When my children were little,we often went camping.When we were camping,we slept in tents.I learned that lots of baggage and extra things were not needed when we were on a camping trip.

Our Bible Reading today tells us that Moses set up the Holy Tent.(This Holy Tent is also called tabernacle.)This tent was the place where God's special people,the Israelites,worshiped God.When God wanted the Israelites to move,they packed up the Holy Tent and carried it to a new place.

The Israelites went to the Holy Tent when they wanted to worship God. Later,King Solomon built a temple in the city of Jerusalem.The Israelites worshiped God there for many years.

Christians today can worship God in many places.They can worship in a church building or in a home or anywhere that Christians meet together.I hope that you meet with other Christians to worship and praise God.

" Then the cloud covered the Meeting Tent and the Glory of the Lord filled the Holy Tent." Exodus 40:34a

Prayer : God,help me to worship and praise You everyday day.In Jesus' name.Amen.
