Calvary Temple

In the book of Exodus 33 God told Moses to set up a tent of meeting outside the camp of the Children of Israel for them to meet together. All the people watched as Moses entered the tent, where the visible cloud of God was present over the entrance. Moses' protégé and successor, Joshua, also went to the tent of meeting with Moses, but verse 11 tells us that when Moses returned to the camp, Joshua stayed in the tent of meeting and wouldn’t leave. Later on, when God’s plan for Joshua was made clear, those extended times in the tent of meeting is what had prepared Joshua for the task God set before him. I want to cultivate a habit of staying in the tent of meeting with God, even when others have left.
