SYNERGY OF WILLS

Exodus 36:3-5

They received from Moses all the offerings the children of Israel brought for all the works for making the holy place, and they continued bringing him freewill offerings every morning. Then all the wise men who were doing all the work of the holy place came, each according to the work he was doing, and they spoke to Moses, saying, “The people bring much more than enough for the work the Lord commanded us to do.”

Encouraging Words

Since God holds everything in creation in the palm of His hand and is the owner of all of it, He can distribute it as He sees fit. The people of Israel were asked to contribute to the building of the tabernacle. It was God's will for this to be done. The Israelites submitted their wills to God and freely gave according to the request. Their will was in synergy with God's will and great miracles abounded. So much was brought forth that the workers doing the building had to tell Moses to ask the people to stop giving. When we align our wills with God's will, great things happen because He can use us fully to His Glory. Glory be to God in all things.
