Exodus 36:6
Then 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,
Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Sun, Jan. 3, ENOUGH (Ex. 36:6). The Israelites brought a free will offering morning after morning, every morning. Therefore, they have more than enough material to start building the temple. From here, we can see
1. Moses didn’t keep asking the people to bring the offering.
Enough is enough. No more offering. No place in the tent to keep the offering of the people. No treasure room in the tent as the storage. Therefore, Moses stop the people to bring more offering.
2. Moses didn’t forget to count.
There were some kind of calculations to record the offering. Moses gave the report. The report was publicly given, so everybody might know. They believed to Moses. They didn’t check whether Moses was honest or not.
3. Moses didn’t use the material to build his own tent.
The material was only for God. He didn’t steal a bit to be used for his own need. So let’s bring to God what are his honestly, completely and wholeheartedly. ASH.
