Old Testament: Exo 40.18–21

To read the Bible in a year, read Exodus 39–40 on February 6, In the year of our Lord Christ 2023

By Don Ruhl 

The Lord commanded Moses to do certain things and the Bible says that Moses did as the Lord commanded, as in this passage: 

So Moses raised up the tabernacle, fastened its sockets, set up its boards, put in its bars, and raised up its pillars. And he spread out the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent on top of it, as the LORD had commanded Moses. He took the Testimony and put it into the ark, inserted the poles through the rings of the ark, and put the mercy seat on top of the ark. And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, hung up the veil of the covering, and partitioned off the ark of the Testimony, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

– Exodus 40.18–21 

Twice in that short reading, the Scripture says that Moses did as the Lord commanded him. That is the best thing that can be said of anyone. 

Questions: 

• Can it be said of you that you do as the Lord commands you? 
• If not, in what commandment are you lacking?
