God Is {HERE}

Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling it the “tent of meeting.” Anyone inquiring of the Lord would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp.And whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose and stood at the entrances to their tents, watching Moses until he entered the tent. As Moses went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and stay at the entrance, while the Lord spoke with Moses. 10 Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshiped, each at the entrance to their tent. 11 The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.
Exodus 33:7-11



Timer Set.... GO!

So I spent some extensive time last year digging into Leviticus - I know, I'm crazy... who just up and decides to study Leviticus
me, that's who.


Anyways, one of the things that it taught me was the importance of the "Tent of Meeting" -
this place where Moses could go and speak to God
face to face
like a friend!

too often in today's world we forget that God wants to speak to us in this way
He wants to speak to us like friends
face to face
that's why he devised the whole master plan of sending his son
so that he didn't have to contain himself to a tent outside of camp

The New Testament says that WE are that tent of meeting
19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Meaning we can talk to God
face to face
like a friend
RIGHT NOW!

God is HERE
Are you ready to meet with Him?
