PRACTICAL POINTS FOR DISCUSSION:
1. True obedience means obeying everything that God tells us to do (Exodus 40:16; Joshua 1:8). 2. God does not command us to do things just for the sake of doing them; everything He commands us to do has a purpose (Exodus 40:17-19). 3. When God gives us instructions, we should obey every detail in order to please Him (Exodus 40:20-21). 4. The basis for worship that pleases God always includes offerings and proper motives (Exodus 40:29-30). 5. To behold the presence of God is truly an awesome experience (Exodus 40:34). 6. God promises to be with us at all times, day and night (Exodus 40:38).
