God’s Favorite Chair

Most of us have a favorite chair. When we sit in it, it just seems to fit us perfectly, as it’s taken our shape over the years. It’s where we relax and do our favorite activities like reading, watching sport, listening to music, and so on.
God instructed Israel to make him a favorite chair. It fitted him perfectly and it was where he loved to sit and do his favorite activity. As we read about it in Exodus 25:10-22, I think you’ll find that it becomes your favorite chair as well.
God’s Living Room

God made us because he wanted to live with us. He wanted us to do life with him. That’s what we see in the Garden of Eden. God and our first parents do life together.
But sin entered and ruined that relationship. Adam and Eve ran away from God and hid from him. And that’s where the human race find itself today, isn’t it? We don’t want to live with God. We don’t know how to live with God. We don’t know if he wants to live with us.
That’s why, immediately after giving Israel the law, he got them to build a living room for him. Why? “Let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst” (8). Let’s visit God’s living room and learn about living with God.
God Enjoys You

How would you describe your relationship with God? Non-existent? Distant? On and off? Mechanical? Functional? Love-hate? One-sided? None of these are very enjoyable, are they? Wouldn’t you love to have a better, deeper, more enjoyable relationship with God? Of course you would. We’d all love that.
Well, I’ve got good news for you. We can actually be friends with God. That’s right, friendship with God is possible and enjoyable. In fact, friendship with God is the most wonderful experience in the world. Here are three surprising truths from Exodus 24 that I hope will encourage you to enter, or enter deeper, into friendship with God.
