It's a Technical Business

In family worship we have been reading Exodus about the building of the tabernacle. In my quiet time I am reading 2 Chronicles about the building of the temple.

Generally speaking, I would really rather read the geneologies.

But lately I have been delighting in this reflection:

Is not the Lord Who so carefully designed such an incredibly intricate and complete "pattern" for His sanctuaries on earth...Who could so perfectly plan every detail from dimensions to materials, from craftsmen to perfumes...Who has called me a living "temple of the Holy Spirit"...is He not fully and totally capable of writing the perfect plan for my life, down to the tiniest detail?
