Very detailed.

So I was reading Exodus 25-26 this morning and I believe the Lord spoke to me through these chapters. I've read these chapters before. These chapters are filled with God giving specific details for building the Arch of the Covenant and the tabernacle of the Lord. God was so detailed in His directions for building these things. It just wasn't where to build them but it was how they should be built and exactly what it should be made out of. Every dimension and every material God told them how to build these things. At first when I read this I kind of just thought of how boring it was to just read detail after detail but then I believe my mind was opened to see how God can and does operate. I know that we ask God for to reveal His will for our lives or we might ask God to show us the ways we should go. I know for most of those times God doesn't reveal these things with such detail but then again there are those times that He does. I believe that this spoke to me because I have been asking God to guide me in certain areas of my life but I've kind of been just expecting God to just help me through these areas but not really expecting clear detailed things. Maybe you are in the same boat as me? Maybe we are waiting for God to give us direction and maybe it's going to be very detailed, who knows? This is one thing that I hold onto and you should too, whether God gives you specific details or just kind of helps you navigate where to go, His ways are always better. I believe this portion of scripture was just renewing my faith when it comes to the area of trusting in God to show me where to go and what to do. I'm super thankful that God is so good and so faithful.
So my prayer for us today is that we would just continue to place all our hope and faith in the Lord. I pray for faith and strength for us to let God be God.
