Today, I am reading and commenting on  Exodus 36-38.

A few chapters earlier, there was a description of the plans given to Moses for the Tabernacle and its furnishings.  Today, we have the description of what was actually made by the craftsmen following those plans.  Every year when I read this passage I take note of the fact that those actually making the Tabernacle had to have Moses tell the Israelites to stop bringing offerings for building it, they had too much material.  Now, consider the timing on all of this.  Work on the Tabernacle began less than three months after the people had been worshiping the golden calf.  Now the Israelites were so enthusiastically supporting this work that they had to be ordered to stop bringing offerings for it.  We should never underestimate the power of the Holy Spirit to turn our society around.  No matter how far those around us may have fallen into sin, the Spirit can transform them just as He transformed the Israelites here.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
