God's plan from the very beginning was not just to rule His people but to dwell, to tabernacle with them; to live among them, to guide them, to counsel them, to make them an intricate part of His plan. He instructs Moses to build a portable tabernacle, which later becomes a permanent structure, the temple of Solomon. He would then become a man and dwell among us in our broken world, to finally dwell inside of us when we surrender and place our trust fully in Him. Now every time we gather as a church to worship the Lord, we become God's living tabernacle on earth.
