* God encamps around those who encamp around Him.

* Apart from God’s protection, we are hopeless.

* Imagine camping with no protection in a wild jungle.

* Now imagine doing it with an armed guard outside.

* In Israel, camping was different.

* Everyone camped around the tabernacle.

* They had to treat God with respect, and keep their tents a certain distance from Him.

* When they did this, they had God’s protection.

* God protects those who fear Him - treat Him with reverence and respect.

* You want God to encamp around you? Then encamp around Him.
