Can you tell I've been reading the book of Exodus lately??? 🕮
Exodus 36:3b And the people continued to bring freewill
offerings morning after morning.
I see several important words in this verse, key words that
can give special direction to my life:
1. “continued” … The offerings people brought
were requested only one time by Moses and the tabernacle construction/decoration
engineers. Requested one time, but
received more often. The people obviously
had caught a vision for what they were supporting.
2. “freewill” … The people were not forced into
bringing the offerings. They recognized
how much their small portion contributed to the whole need. Evidently, how much each person brought is not important
enough to have been mentioned.
3. “morning after morning” … Although there is
no indication that the same people came every day, nevertheless every day an offering showed up!
As
long as I have something to offer God, why not make it continuing, freely
given, morning after morning? The blessing will be mine if I give God whatever I have to offer. As I grow older, I am realizing more and more just how much better my life is when I am regularly, continuously, freely giving myself and all I can do to God, no matter how simple or small I may consider that offering to be.
