29 All the Israelite men and women who were willing brought to the Lord freewill offerings for all the work the Lord through Moses had commanded them to do.
I kept reading through 2 chapters today.....looking for the nugget of practicality for me. It's very much the same tone across both chapters. All who have, and are willing, are giving to the cause. All that are skilled are giving their time to construct or engrave or build. Its a great picture of the church. It is a literal interpretation of what Paul is talking about in Ephesians. Everyone has skills and talents that put together can do wondrous things. Its crazy to think that all of these people had been given specific skills and talents, by God....years ago....in preparation for this moment in time.
Amazing!

I was doing the same as you, re-reading multiple times. I had not read your note, but came with a similar revelation and a verse in the same vein as you.
ReplyDelete5 and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the Lord commanded to be done.”
not only were all the right skills present but there was an energy and desire to do as the Lord had instructed them. There was an abundance of resources. It really is a great picture of the church to see everyone rowing the same way. I don't have that feeling often enough today.
