*This weekly newsletter will share about the Bible Breakdown podcast, things about RLC, and my favorite things from around the web. My prayer is it will help you know God better.
Hello friends. Happy Saturday!
As summer moves quickly, Exodus 35 reminds us that God invites everyone to participate in His work. The people brought their gifts, skills, and resources willingly for the tabernacle. What God was building required the contribution of the whole community. This chapter shows the beauty of people serving together with joyful hearts.
🎧 My Favorite BibleBreakdown Episode This Week>>>
📚 Scripture. 💪
Exodus 35:21
“All whose hearts were stirred and whose spirits were moved came and brought their sacred offerings to the Lord. They brought all the materials needed for the Tabernacle, for the performance of its rituals, and for the sacred garments.”
Observation: God values willing hearts more than reluctant obligation. The people responded generously because they understood what God had done for them. Everyone had something to contribute, whether resources, craftsmanship, or service. Worship was expressed not only through singing but through giving and building. The tabernacle became a community effort shaped by obedience and gratitude. This chapter reminds us that God often works through ordinary people serving faithfully together.
Application: Use your gifts, resources, and abilities this week to serve God and others joyfully.
Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for allowing me to participate in what You are doing. Help me serve with generosity, joy, and a willing heart.
