Hi GAMErs!<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s passage is Exodus 36:1-7.\u00a0 Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n

Exodus 36:1-3a (NIV)<\/strong>
\n1\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0So Bezalel, Oholiab and every skilled person to whom the\u00a0LORD\u00a0has given skill and ability to know how to carry out all the work of constructing the sanctuary are to do the work just as the\u00a0LORD\u00a0has commanded.”
\n2\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0Then Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person to whom the\u00a0LORD\u00a0had given ability and who was willing to come and do the work.
\n3\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0They received from Moses all the offerings the Israelites had brought to carry out the work of constructing the sanctuary\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

On verses 1-3a:\u00a0 Bezalel, Oholiab and their team had all they needed to flourish in their ministry of designing the artwork for the tabernacle.\u00a0 They had clear instructions and commands from the LORD (v1).\u00a0 They had the encouragement and support of their leaders (v2 \u2013 \u201cMoses summoned\u201d Bezalel, Oholiab and every willing skilled person).\u00a0 They had the financial resources to do the work from the offerings that the Israelites had brought (v3) and which Moses fully entrusted to them.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the lesson here?\u00a0\u00a0For any person to succeed in an important project (or in their career, business or work), what they need are: (1) a clear mandate and a sense of God\u2019s call; (2) the encouragement and support of their leaders; and (3) the financial resources necessary to get the work done.\u00a0 You need all three.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Exodus 36:1-3b (NIV)<\/strong>
\n3<\/sup>\u2026And the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning.
\n4\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0So all the skilled craftsmen who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left their work
\n5\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the\u00a0LORD\u00a0commanded to be done.”
\n6\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0Then Moses gave an order and they sent this word throughout the camp: “No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” And so the people were restrained from bringing more,
\n7\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work.<\/em><\/p>\n

On verses 3b-7:\u00a0 What an amazing situation.\u00a0 The people had been consistently offering what they had for the building of the tabernacle, to the point where the team in charge had \u201cmore than enough\u201d (v5, 7).\u00a0 So Moses orders the people to stop bringing any more offerings.<\/p>\n

What can we learn from this?\u00a0\u00a0In God\u2019s church it\u2019s the people\u2019s responsibility to give consistently.\u00a0 It\u2019s the leaders\u2019 responsibility to encourage, manage and not abuse the people\u2019s giving.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Father, thank You for showing us what people need to succeed in big projects.\u00a0 May the people at THRIVE be consistent and faithful in giving such that there is more than enough for Your church through the people\u2019s giving.\u00a0 In Jesus\u2019 name, AMEN!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
