Leftovers

As I was finishing Exodus this morning, I came across another verse that stood out. As Moses told Israel to give to the tabernacle, God tells us to give to His kingdom. They gave so much that Moses had to tell them to stop giving. In today's time it is just the opposite. The preacher has to beg and plead with the people of the church to give to Gods kingdom with their time or money. When people do give they give the leftovers. God tells us to put Him first in our lives but so many times we give Him our time or money only if we have some left after doing the things we want to do.
Exodus 36:6-7
6 So Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary.” And the people were restrained from bringing, 7 for the material they had was sufficient for all the work to be done—indeed too much.

In Christ name,
