Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work he was doing, 5 and they spoke to Moses, saying, “The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us to do.” vv.4-5
Read chapter 36
The construction of the Tabernacle begins and seems to start immediately, not just waiting for the "perfect" time or when all "funds are raised." This chapter mimics chapter 26 of the words God spoke to Moses that Moses spoke to them or the spirit of wisdom that guided them (v.2), it wasn't just similar but was the exact representation of God's command. Sometimes reading chapters of details is "boring" but if God didn't give us details would we know Him intimately? Would He then not care of the details in our lives too? I love this verse that the offerings were over abundant from the people. They didn't need encouragement sermon to give or just a one time offering but feely and continually gave for the Lord. Also amazing to see that the workers told Moses that it was enough than just picketing the extra for their own personal pay since they were the ones working. What work is the Lord doing in your life that you may be putting off waiting for the perfect timing? What is one detail of the Tabernacle that stands out to you? What's one detail about you that you wish more people knew? How/when/ do you freely give to the Lord?
