How specific is God in what He wants?

This morning I traveled to Santa Cruz to worship with the congregation there. 

One of the young men in the congregation had a good message.  He talked about how specific God was when He told Noah about building the ark.  He did not just leave him hanging how how big to build it, what to build it with or what types of animals to carry inside.  He was very specific and left no questions.

God was also specific when he told Moses how to build the Tabernacle.  Again, he did not leave him wondering on the types of materials he was to use.  In Exodus 25:9, God told Moses to build it exactly the way he was instructed.

Though the remainder of the Bible, we see how God specifically gave instructions.  If man obeyed, he enjoyed a close walk with God.  If he disobeyed, sometimes there was punishment and at times it brought even death. 

God has not changed.  His rules, desires and laws still remain valid today.

Many times people want to point fingers at other people, taking on the role of God, trying to tell people what they should or should not do.  I think it would behoove each of us to be certain that how we are living is in accordance to God's will.  Yes, we need to help others, but if we are not familiar with the scriptures, our teaching might not be the same as God's.

Just a thought.  God love, remains faithful and his vengeance, remains as powerful.
