Exodus
36 –Working for the Lord Willingly
Every
member of the crew, which was probably many people was engaged in the building
of the tabernacle with the wisdom and understanding God had given him. The man in charge was Bezaleel.
If
you are serving the Lord grudgingly, do not do it. God cannot use this kind of attitude. These people have been slaves in the past and
here they are slaving again, but this time because they want to. Their hearts are in their work. That is the way you are to do God’s
work. God’s work is to be done with joy
and happiness. We are to serve Him with
gladness. We are to be fully persuaded
that we are serving Him because we want to and because we are eager to please
Him.
This
is the only place on record, where the people had to be asked to stop giving. They brought a great deal more than was
needed to build and furnish the tabernacle.
They gave liberally, joyfully, and enthusiastically to their God. That is the way God wants it done. Our worship of God should be with joy, and so
should our giving.
The
covering of the tabernacle was fine twined Egyptian linen which speaks of the
righteousness of Christ. It speaks of
His character and His work. Christ is
adequate to meet our needs. He can save us.
He can deliver us. He can keep
us. Everything in the tabernacle pictured some part of the person or work of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
