Read the Bible Through in 2009

Monday, February 8

Exodus 34:4 - 35
Matthew 26:31 - 56

Exodus 35:21, 22 - "If their hearts were stirred and they desired to do so, they brought to the Lord their offerings of materials for the Tabernacle and its furnishings and for the holy garments.  Both men and women came, all whose hearts were willing."

Those whose hearts were stirred gave willingly to the Tent of Meeting.  With great enthusiasm they gave because they knew how important their giving was to the completion of God's house.  Airline pilots and computer operators can push test buttons to see if their equipment is functioning properly.  God has a quick test button he can push to see the level of our commitment--our pocketbooks.  Generous people aren't necessarily faithful to God.  But faithful people are always generous.
