Thoughts from Exodus 26 and Exodus 27

God was very specific in the details of what to make, how to make it and with what to make things with for the tabernacle.

Make the interior of the sacred Tent, the Tent of my presence, out of ten pieces of fine linen woven with blue, purple, and red wool. Embroider them with figures of winged creatures. Make each piece the same size, 14 yards long and 2 yards wide. Sew five of them together in one set, and do the same with the other five. Make loops of blue cloth on the edge of the outside piece in each set. Put fifty loops on the first piece of the first set and fifty loops matching them on the last piece of the second set. Make fifty gold hooks with which to join the two sets into one piece. Exodus 26:1-6

Does the Lord continue to speak so specific or was it just in this matter? If He does, then what do I need to do to hear the very specific instructions?

The Lord commanded the people to bring the oil to keep the candle or lamp burning. God requires the same of us today as the lights to the world. We must give enough to keep the light shining until He returns.

“Command the people of Israel to bring you the best olive oil for the lamp, so that it can be lit each evening. Aaron and his sons are to set up the lamp in the Tent of my presence outside the curtain which is in front of the Covenant Box. There in my presence it is to burn from evening until morning. This command is to be kept forever by the Israelites and their descendants. Exodus 27: 20-21

Aaron and his sons were required to tend to the light during all the hours that the sun didn’t shine. We too must tend to God’s business continually in the darkness of the world.
