A Place for Me in God's Tent

by Terry Murphy

Imagine looking at God's self-portrait and seeing yourself sketched right into the picture. That's just what God did when He drew up His plans for the tabernacle in the wilderness. Take a step by step, personal tour of God's holy habitation in this devotional and discover how He made a place for us there.A Place for Me in God's Tent is set up in three, six-week parts, with thirty short devotions in each one. Part One, "The Tabernacle and Me," depicts how we as individuals function as God's dwelling place. Part Two, "The Tabernacle and We," presents the family of God as the many parts of His larger tent, the body of Christ. Part Three, "The Tabernacle and He," shows how the tabernacle reflects Christ Himself as our ultimate abiding place and refuge.The book can be used for personal contemplation or as a guide for group study. Each devotion contains a reading, a reflection, and a prayer. These are followed by a "Deeper Still" segment where the reader can discover how Scripture echoes each day's theme elsewhere. Each devotion ends with a prompt for further reflection or journaling. Discussion questions at the end of each week serve as conversation starters for those reading the book as a group.As you read A Place for Me in God's Tent, don't forget to look for the companion Facebook group page mentioned in the Introduction to ask questions, share insights, join conversations, and find additional illustrations of the tabernacle.

If you are reading through Exodus or Leviticus, you really must get this book. I'm loving this 90 day devotional and am intentionally going slowly with it, allowing the well-researched details and their application in my life to sink in and do their work on my soul. Thank you, Terry, for all you poured into writing and researching this beautiful work. I am the better for it. My appreciation for the construction of the tent, the Acadia wood, the colors and weave of the curtains. Who knew all that God had planned and why? So much is lost of the details of how God taught us, his people, without wise ones like you helping us understand his ways. At least they were lost on me, until now.
