| His Desire |
| “And let them make Me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8). |
| In the 25 chapter of Exodus, we have the Lord looking down from heaven on a redeemed people and desiring their company as they journeyed through the wilderness. This is not so much the Israelites looking up and requesting the Lord’s presence amongst them, but He looking down and wanting their company. Thus He gave very specific instructions as to how this could be, and, as a result, the tabernacle was built and set up so that this could be brought about. As a result, the Lord was able to dwell in the midst of His people all throughout their forty year sojourn in the wilderness. |
| So it is today. The Lord Jesus desires our company around Himself, according to the instructions of His Word. He has said, “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). He desires to have us there — can we say, “The desire of our soul is to Thy name, and to the remembrance of Thee” (Isaiah 26:8)? |
