I knew God knew who I was. How did I know this? He tells me in the Psalms “I knitted you together while you were still in the womb.” He knows everything about me. Start to finish.

But what did I know about God? I knew He loved me enough to send His Son Jesus as a sacrifice so I could be reconciled back to Him. Did I know anyone that would do that for me? No. I knew God was a god of love and at times wrath.

In my prayers, from my perspective God seemed far away. Distant. He was in the temple and I was in parking lot W13 waiting for the trolley that never came. I didn’t know how to get to the temple, so I just sat in the parking lot hoping to connect with Him from there.

How do you approach someone you don’t know? You get to know them. You learn about them so you can better communicate. How do you get to know God? You read His book, the Holy Bible. Which is what I started doing.

One day while reading in Exodus 26, I discovered God has favorite colors. In the very detailed plans of the tabernacle, we see God saying to Moses he wanted to see the colors blue, purple and scarlet. Throughout God’s details for His house He wants blue, purple and scarlet used for several things. In fact, these colors are a common theme in the tabernacle.

I meditated on this. God told Moses how He wanted His house built down to the color scheme. God’s favorite colors are blue, purple and scarlet. It’s very personal isn’t it? He even told Moses how He wanted it furnished and how it should smell.

God was very concerned about seemingly small things to you and I.

But, we aren’t Him.

The small things are very big to God.

He began to show me His ways are the polar opposite of the world’s.
