Exodus 25 - Day 78 (link to reading plan)
Scripture: Exodus 25:1-2 Commentary: The call for materials is prefaced by the instruction that the materials be given first as an offering (תרומה), that is, as an act of worship, and second, as a joyous expression to be made only by those “compelled” by their own desire to do so. Just how excessively successful this call was is shown by the sequel narrative, which dwells repetitively on the abundance of the fine materials given (35:20–29; 36:2–7; cf. 38:21–31; 39:32–43). Durham, J. I. (1987). Exodus (Vol. 3, p. 354). Dallas: Word, Incorporated. Application: Like a loving parent, God invites us to choose whether or not we want to participate, rather than forcing His will upon us. This is often the hardest thing for me to do as I try to raise my children to love Jesus. Prayer: Lord, please reveal your goodness to my friends and family who do not know You. Comments are closed.
