Key Verse: Verse 22 - “And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.”
Freewill offerings of the people quickly provided ample building material, though the amount needed was large and of great value.
A mother wanted to teach her daughter a moral lesson. She gave the little girl a quarter and a dollar for church. "Put whichever one you want in the collection plate and keep the other for yourself," she told the girl. When they were coming out of church, the mother asked her daughter which amount she had given. "Well," said the little girl, "I was going to give the dollar, but just before the collection the man in the pulpit said that we should all be cheerful givers. I knew I'd be a lot more cheerful if I gave the quarter, so I did."
Unfortunately, I am afraid a lot of adults feel the same way. But the building and supplying of the Tabernacle reveals that there were those who had a willing heart.
What to do:
✞Your giving reveals your heart. Do you have a willing heart?
