Chapter 46: The world is geared so that it wants everything done right now. But you

There are no non-essentials in God's Word. The Word is full of types, symbols, Pictures; all have deep, peculiar, spiritual meaning.

The Tabernacle in the wilderness is a revelation of Truth--an object lesson of spiritual Truth. It is the revelation of Christ and His redemptive work; the story of the gospel. It teaches how God can meet His People, and how His people can come into the Presence of their God.

The first five books of the Bible are mostly types. Jesus is pictured as Lamb, Altar, Priest; varied glories of His Person, and varied aspects of His work. Jesus taught in types. The believer who has most acquaintance with Jesus, who loves Him best, will see the most beauties in the types. __________________________________________________________________

The world is geared so that it wants everything done right now. But you can't do the work of God that way.

We need perspective in our thinking; in our studying; in our approach to God.

I am so thankful for what I call perspective in my vision of Truth. I know now His purpose, and only as I look away, and not too closely at the present, am I able to move on at all. "We look not at things seen." I must see them all in their logical purpose, but not park on anything too transitory.

We are all made to follow a vision of some sort, or pattern. All life and activity is due to motivation toward some desired end or purpose. What is our vision; or for what are we living? "Where there is no vision (no restraining power in life), the people cast off restraint." (Prov. 29:18) __________________________________________________________________
