When God told them to build the sanctuary, He told everyone to bring what they had available. They brought what they had, and it was exactly what was needed to build the Tabernacle. God provided them with what they needed so that they could do what was requested in order to experience Him and His presence in their lives. God provides for what He wants to do and for what He wants to see happen. If they had decided that they wanted to do more or include more than what He had requested, they would have had to find it themselves. This is often where we make our mistake. Work with what God has given you, use the time you have and follow the passion He has placed in your heart for Him. Don’t get fancy and don’t get distracted by waiting for perfect conditions before you pursue Him. Take what you have, give Him your heart and He will work with what you have offered and begin to make Himself a living reality to you.
DO EXACTLY AS HE SHOWS YOU TO AVOID ANXIETY
Following God involves doing what He tells us to do and obeying His instructions.
Exodus 25:9‘You must build this Tabernacle and its furnishings exactly according to the pattern I will show you.‘
Often when we follow our own ideas or do what seems good to us, we take on burdens and responsibilities that God did not intend for us to carry. When we think we can do it (life) on our own or on our own terms we bring anxiety into our lives. When we insist on doing it our way, we have to carry something that we were never meant to carry. Sometimes we take on so many unnecessary things that the load becomes too much to carry. How much better things could be if we just did what He told us to do and learnt to be content with God’s pattern and program. He wants to meet with you and show you which way to go.
