Offer God What You Have

Exodus 35:5  

"Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: 

whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an

offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass"

     This chapter commences with the Regulations for the Sabbath. Perhaps we all need to be reminded that, during all the .preparation for the new Tabernacle, they were not to allow their work, however noble the object, to break in on the Sabbath-keeping of the camp. How often have we overlooked God's Regulations for the Sabbath. 
    He then proceeded to address the character of the gifts that were required. Those who had costly heirlooms had nothing too good; and they who could only bring the acacia wood of the desert were welcome to bring that. Women who were clever with their hands might spin the flax or weave the soft white wool of the Angora goat. 
    A wide variety of work was offered, which reminds us of  1 Cor. 12:4  "Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit." But notice He Repeatedly urged the word "willing-heart." My friends, that signifies a heart driven by a holy purpose!  There should be no need for the crack of the taskmaster’s whip. "The love of God constrains."  "Thank God For the love that will not let me go!" 
Amen!
