Worship in the Wilderness

Matthew Henry draws a powerful lesson from this verse: the Israelites set up the Tabernacle in the wilderness, not waiting until they were settled in Canaan. This serves as a reminder for believers not to delay their devotion to God, thinking they will start when life is more stable. Worship is essential for the journey, not just the destination.
