Creating Space for God
Exodus 40:34-38
34 The cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 35 Moses was unable to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud rested on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 36 The Israelites set out whenever the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle throughout all the stages of their journey. 37 If the cloud was not taken up, they did not set out until the day it was taken up. 38 For the cloud of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day, and there was a fire inside the cloud by night, visible to the entire house of Israel throughout all the stages of their journey.

In the Old Testament, God instructed His people to build a tabernacle - a sacred space where His presence would dwell. Today, God calls us to create space in our lives for Him. This might mean finding a specific place for prayer, like Jesus did on the Mount of Olives, or carving out time in our busy schedules. What needs to be "eliminated" from your life to make more room for God? Remember, when we intentionally create space, God will fill it with His presence.
