The Tabernacle: A Place of Safety

Bible Reading: Isaiah 4

Key Verse: Verse 6 – “And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a  place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.”

Key Words: And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the day time

The Tabernacle (tent) was a place of safety from heat and storms which raged through the Middle East.  The tent was not only needed but a necessity.

The “spiritual” Tabernacle was a place of spiritual safety where people would make sacrifices to God and confess their sin and cry out to God for His provision and protection.

In much the same way today, our Biblical churches are a place for protection and spiritual provision.

The following statistics reveal church is the safest place of all.

Automobiles account for 20 percent of all fatal accidents, while 17 percent of fatalities occur at home.  Fourteen percent happen to pedestrians on streets and sidewalks.  Travel by air, rail, or water causes 16 percent of the deaths.  Yet, of all reported deaths, only .001 percent occur in worship services.

Moral:  You are safer in church than any other place.  Think about it!
