APPROACH TO THE TABERNACLE (XI)



 Musselburgh

The eleven goats' hair curtains formed the tent,
While clasps of copper formed it as a whole:
Protecting all within was God's intent.

May God in grace assist us to control
All that would come within His holy place
That all may answer to His holy soul.

Yet all is held together in the grace
Of sufferings the Saviour had to face.

  1. Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity through this poem. I look forward to reading more of your work in the future.The imagery of the goat's hair curtains and copper clasps forming the tent is very vivid and helps to paint a picture in my mind.

    I think I can read it as an encouragement to consider the importance of keeping our hearts and minds pure as we approach God, and to rely on His grace to sustain us through difficult times?

    1. Yes. There's so much in these types; I can only try to draw out a few thoughts.
