It’s interesting how life fills up. If we have 6 hours, it will fill up with 7 hours of things to do. If we have 20 dollars in our pocket, suddenly we want to do 25 worth of things. So, if you want to add something to your life, something else must go. None of us can endlessly add things to our days. Have you thought about that regarding spiritual life? Christ is a serious blessing for anyone. But if we want Him to live in our lives…room must be made.
“The men were eager to get started and engage in the work…the people kept bringing in their freewill offerings, morning after morning. The people are bringing more than enough for doing this work, so Moses sent out orders thought the camp; men! women! No more offerings for the building of the sanctuary!” ~Ex. 36:2-6
It’s hard to believe this was the same people from 4 chapters earlier that were dancing around a golden calf. But somehow they got their heads on straight and became excited at the idea of housing the presence of God in their camp. Think about it from their point of view, they had seen the presence of God show up at times in a fiery cloud, but then He’d be gone. Not being able to see Him, along with Moses’ absence was probably what led to the golden calf incident. But now God had offered to live among them. With great excitement they donated their gold and silver and energetically constructed a place for Him to live. We did that too. The Spirit of Christ offered to moved into our lives and we MADE A PLACE FOR HIM! ~Verlon
