G-d wanted to make sure he had the finest things for when the Israelites would talk to him. Now the word synagogue is often translated as Beit haknesset beit meaning house. The sanctuary was like god's house so it was decorated with the best things like gold, because he is the best. Just like each of us has our own room, whether you share it with someone or it's your own it is still yours. Each person's room is like a museum of all of their favorite things. Whether you have medals, trophies, a wall with pictures, or one full of squishmallows, they represent something to you.

What is my drash
any of :
same as Abravanel and Silverman, G-d has always cared about the Israelites and jewish people. I believe he deems us sacred since he took us to Canaan. I also think that as god he wanted everything to be perfect for when he would talk to the israelites for the first time. If the place where they would speak to G-d looked and felt perfect, they could only imagine how amazing G-d was.
