DAY TWENTY — Building the Tabernacle

After receiving God’s instructions, Moses called the people to bring offerings for the building of the Tabernacle. The list was long—gold, silver, fabrics, wood, oil, and gems. But notice the heart behind it: “Everyone who is willing is to bring an offering to the Lord.”

God wasn’t forcing generosity; He was inviting it. The Tabernacle—the place of God’s dwelling among His people—would be built not through reluctant duty but through willing hearts. Each contribution, no matter how small, was part of something far greater: creating a space where God’s presence would dwell.

Our giving today follows the same pattern. God doesn’t need our resources, but He delights when His people give willingly, cheerfully, and sacrificially for His work. Every act of generosity—time, talent, or treasure—is a way of declaring, “Lord, I want Your presence at the center of our lives.”

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

• How do you see your giving (of money, time, or skills) as worship?
• What helps you give with a willing, joyful heart instead of out of pressure?
• Where might God be inviting you to contribute to His work today?
