God came out to man, that man might come in to Him

He began by revealing Himself by the first piece of furniture He instructed to be built, the Ark of the Testimony, or the Ark of the Covenant.

“And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, withing and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.” Exodus 25:10-11

The greater reached out or down to the lesser, and the perfect to the imperfect.  How humbling this is? He came out to man, that man might come in to Him. He is no longer keeping man off to a distance as it was at Mount Sinai. On Mount Sinai, God would break forth upon man or beast if they got too close to Him. Thank God for the way home! If we remain at arms length from Him, it is because we want to, not because we have to. Draw close to Him; He longs for it!
