Today was a beautiful day in worship. What made it beautiful was obedience. Going when the body and mind wanted to rest. It’s been a season. Obedience brought joy. All around me was worship of a Savior who provides and restores. I saw a sweet friend singing to her Jesus, and I know her God…

Three men looked at fear and said, “Our God is able!” But… Even in the face of incredible odds that they would survive their punishment of a flaming furnace, they still knew their God is able: “But if he doesn’t, please understand, sir, that EVEN THEN we will never under any circumstance serve your gods…

The Curtain
Hang the curtain from the clasps and place the ark of the covenant law behind the curtain. The curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.
