I've managed to read only a few of the Bible verses containing tabernacle references, and already I can not wait for the study this fall!
Each day in the morning and the evening the High Priests were commanded to burn incense on the golden alter. They left the incense burning all day as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. The incense was considered holy and made up of special spices, that were expensive. The incense was also a symbol of prayers wafting up to heaven on behalf of the people.
In Psalm 141:2 David says, "May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice."
I want my prayers waft up to heaven like a pleasing aroma...how about you?
Anyone else reading about the tabernacle? Would you be willing to share what you are learning, or what you've learned in the past about the tabernacle?
It would be awesome if this could be an interactive blog, feel free to post comments and questions, insights and thoughts. Not just in response to the tabernacle study but also tell us; how has "Believing God" impacted you? Do you think back to the study when trouble comes your way? Have you had any "I'M BELIEVING GOD" moments? Share if you'd like!
Well, I have a quiet house tonight, so I'm going to read some more, hope you are getting the opportunity to spend some time with God too. Summer is very busy at our house, and without a study to keep me on track, I've felt disconnected from God lately. For me, this blog, and knowing I should post something on it, is a nudge to crack open the Bible and get back on track. I am so thankful for that nudge.

Last winter, a friend and I attended a prayer conference at Faith Church. The pastor taught the tabernacle prayer. It was extremely interesting and even more interesting when I learned that the person that developed that prayer from the Scriptures was Dr. Paul Cho, pastor at the largest church in the world which happens to be in Seoul, Korea. I visited that church in the seventies. At that time it had over 20,000 members. Today the membership is in the hundred thousands in many different locations. Dr. Cho is such a man of prayer so this tabernacle prayer intriqued me. Sorry to say, after doing some work on it, it got set aside and I haven't looked back. Perhaps when I get back from vacation, I can dig it out and eventually share it with our group.
We will appreciate anything you share with the group Gayle, thanks!
