I have no clue what a cubit is. And even if I did know, oh, my goodness \u2013 the details about every little dimension of this wooden box are overwhelming!!!<\/p>\n<p>But then it hit me; God ALWAYS has a purpose! And that means these details MUST matter.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe we will see heaven\u2019s version of the Ark someday and wonder that God allowed us to build a piece of heaven right here on earth. Or maybe, in the time of trials, we will know what is true because a counterfeit won\u2019t match up to these very specific details.<\/p>\n<p>So, no \u2013 I still don\u2019t know how or why these details matter to us. But I am excited to recognize that God revealed something to us which had been hidden from humankind. And how incredible that God revealed it in this level of detail?!<\/p>\n<p>Which brings me to the other \u201cboring\u201d passages, chapters and even books of the Bible. They were boring, because I didn\u2019t recognize they had a purpose for us; here today.<\/p>\n<p>We can wonder together about why these details matter, but we now realize how precious they are to God \u2013 and how precious <em>we<\/em> are since God made them available to us.<\/p>\n<p>Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/woman-in-white-dress-shirt-holding-white-ipad-zygboO9Z-wg?utm_content=creditShareLink&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\">Fa Baboza<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are passages, chapters and even entire books of the Bible that are a challenge to read.
