Something recently struck me at the end of the book of Exodus - - in the Lord's instructions to Moses for collecting the materials to construct the Tabernacle:
“This is what the Lord has commanded: From what you have, take an offering for the Lord. Everyone who is willing is to bring to the Lord an offering... EXODUS 35:4-9
How well the Lord know us! He knows that His people need a visible sign of His presence, so he instructs
...everyone who is willing...
to bring the necessary items as an offering to the Lord.
In building the Tabernacle, the Lord is making Himself
visible to the nation of Israel and the nations around them.
visible to the nation of Israel and the nations around them.
The Lord is still working through a coalition of the willing!
Lord is still making himself visible to all people through His People, the church, those who are following Him - - listening to His voice - - and doing what He asks. The way the Lord becomes visible happens through those who know Him - - Loving Him as they love and serve other people. It's simple, though not always easy!
Are you among the willing?
