“More Than Enough”
Wednesday, August 27, 2025Key Verse
“And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.” Exodus 36:5
Text —Exodus 36:2-7
Message
After dealing with the disobedience of the children of Israel in raising the golden calf, God gave them another chance to show their love for Him by letting them bring gifts that would be used to build the tabernacle. The tabernacle would be a special place where God could meet with them in their camp! The people were so excited that they brought a lot of things- there was a pile of gold, a pile of silver, a pile of fine linen. Eventually there was so much that Moses had to tell everyone to stop bringing things. There was more than enough substance for the work. You also have something to give for God’s work.
God loves a cheerful giver. He also loves it when we give freely without being forced to give. Remember how the wise men travelled the long way to take beautiful gifts to Jesus, the King of kings. They did not just send a few gifts with someone travelling that way. They wanted to take the gifts by themselves. When we give to God, we should become part of the gift by giving of ourselves, our time and perhaps even some of our hard-earned pocket money. God can use whatever we give when we give with a heart of joy. By giving to God, we worship Him and show Him our love. Remember, Jesus sees even the smallest love-gift you give. He will reward you and make you to have more than enough.
