Today in Exodus chapters 26 & 27 we read about God's plans for the Tabernacle, the Altar and the Courtyard.  I have to admit, I have zoned out a bit when reading these chapters in years past.  But for some reason this year these details were fascinating to me today!   Why the change?  I'm not 100% sure, other than I do think repeated study of the Bible year after year does bear fruit and does grow our interest in every iota of God's Word.  So, if by chance you felt like you were zoning out a bit when reading these chapters today, don't be discouraged.  The interest will definitely come with time and further study of all of God's Word.  Let me recommend to you that you don't skim over chapters like these though.  Please do read each word.  If you skim this year, you'll skim next year and you'll miss out on the fruit that will come from this study.  I have found images really help my understanding of chapters like these, so I'll post up a few images, which will hopefully help you visualize what we've read about today.  Below are a couple of images of the tabernacle and its layout:

 

Worship Video:  Today's readings reminded me of the fantastic Matthew West song called "The Motions." Here are two video versions of this song, below. The first video is a great live version of the song. The second video is from a documentary shows Matthew going through vocal cord surgery, which is quite a scary thing for any of us to go through, much less a singer..
