The Glory That Filled the Tabernacle Fills You - Exodus 40:34-37

"Then the cloud covered the Tabernacle, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. Moses could no longer enter the Tabernacle because the cloud had settled down over it, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. Now whenever the cloud lifted from the Tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out on their journey, following it. But if the cloud did not rise, they remained where they were until it lifted." The climax of the Exodus occurred when the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. God’s intention from the start was not merely to deliver his people from their bondage, but to bring them into a relationship with Himself. The real need for the Israelites was to know God personally in their lives. What made the Promised Land the land of promise was the presence of God among His people. The glory that had been on Mount Sinai was now in Israel’s midst. God's presence would lead them whenever they traveled and dwell with them when they camped. In the same way, God wants to dwell with you and lead you. God doesn't just forgive your sins by the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, but He sends His Spirit to dwell with you and daily lead and guide you. The glory of God that filled the Tabernacle now personally dwells in you.
