Hello and Welcome back...Today we read through Exodus 36:1-381"Now Bezalel and Oholiab, and every skillful person in whom the LORD has put skill and understanding to know how to perform all the work in the construction of the sanctuary, shall perform in accordance with all that the LORD has commanded."
2Then Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every skillful person in whom the LORD had put skill, everyone whose heart stirred him, to come to the work to perform it.
If you haven't read the passage yet you may do so by clicking here.
They received so many volunteers that there were too many workers and materials that Moses needed to tell some people they had enough.
6So Moses issued a command, and a proclamation was circulated throughout the camp, saying, "Let no man or woman any longer perform work for the contributions of the sanctuary." Thus the people were restrained from bringing any more.
7For the material they had was sufficient and more than enough for all the work, to perform it.
8All the skillful men among those who were performing the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman, Bezalel made them.
They followed all the directions the Lord had given them.
~Can you picture this..."ok ok don't bring any more materials...we have too much and don't come to work either...we have so many workers that were getting in each others way" I'll just bet Moses was proud of his people for stepping up to the plate...He had just been told by the Lord that they were not a good group of people...This just goes to show you that we all need direction...if we are left to our own ways about things we will be easily distracted.
please join me in reading Exodus 37:1-29
