God is in the Details of Your Life

If you doubt God’s attention to detail consider the construction of the tabernacle. In Exodus 36-38, the Israelites constructed the tabernacle according to the instructions God gave to Moses.

Help me not to get caught up in senseless arguments. Suppress my desire to win an argument. Fill me with your wisdom so that my words speak eternity and hope to those who wander in darkness.
