I'm only four songs in and I am in love with this album ❤

Why My Bible Looks The Way It Does...

 The Bible intimidated me for a while. I knew it was important, but numbers were involved and the pages were thin and the font was small. Nevertheless, I began reading. I knew the stories, but I read them again. I read as much as I could and as much as I wanted to. I started writing things down and keeping notes. I kept reading. I read the Old Testament and fell in love with God and His Promises. I fell in love with Jesus in the New Testament. My Bible looks the way it does because I fell in love with Jesus.

Exodus: Glorious and beautiful

Verses: Exodus 26:36, 27:16, 28:2, 5, 6, 8, 15

I love this. These verses are about the curtain in the tabernacle, the priestly clothing, all of it. God desired the curtains and the clothing to be beautiful and glorious. (He was telling Moses this.) With regards to the curtain, terminology is used like, "decorate with colourful embroidery" and "use finely woven linen". Certain colours are mentioned: red, scarlet, gold, blue, and purple. 

Here's what this tells me: God wants beauty. He creates and desires beauty. He delights in the beautiful and glorious!!! He filled people with the skills required to carry out the work- the craftsmen "whom he had filled with the Spirit of Wisdom". God gave them the gift of making beautiful things!! God delights and desires glorious beauty.
