Pastor Leon’s SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer

February 5: Exodus 39-40; Psalm 15; Acts 12

Scripture: Exodus (NIV) 40:34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

Observation: It was a glory time. God’s Presence filled the Tabernacle that had just been completed and set up for the first time. The cloud that the Israelites had followed from Egypt now covered the tent where God said He would meet with them. My attention was drawn to the first word of verse 34: “Then…” In the previous 33 verses of this chapter eight times we read that they set up the tabernacle “according to/as the LORD commanded Moses.”

Application: If I want to get to the “Then…” I will have to be careful to do “as the LORD commands.” Careful obedience has rewards. God’s greatest reward is His presence and His glory.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, Oh, the glory of Your Presence! It is good to carefully obey You! Amen
