"God Provides"

(Exodus 36)

“Then Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person to whom the LORD had given ability and who was willing to come and do the work. They received from Moses all the offerings the Israelites had brought to carry out the work of constructing the sanctuary. And the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning.” Vs. 2-3

The Lord provides for His work. Whether it was the people, the skills, or the materials, God provided. In the same way that scripture promises us as believers strength or provision of escape during times of testing, God’s calling comes with His provision.

Many times God speaks through His provision. Through it, He offers affirmation. But also then, Glory is His alone. We need to be sure and give Him praise for what can seemingly be our successes… in our families, in our careers, and in our relationships. We need to do so because then, and only then, will we truly have a thankful heart. Only then will we experience the full benefit of being used as a child of God.

The result? More trust, more faith, and a desire to be more involved. “And the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning.”
