Today's Passage: Numbers 7
This chapter simply lists the offerings given to God by the leaders of his people. As I read through the list, I found myself contemplating what I have offered to God. We are called to give him a tithe, but an offering goes beyond that. Although we no longer commonly offer Him gifts of silver, gold, animals, oil, flour, and incense, we do offer Him other things...often intangible.
Sometimes it seems more difficult to offer Him our talents, abilities, relationships, or time. While I should live my entire life in surrender to God, what am I intentionally offering to Him to be used for his kingdom. My favorite part of today's passage are the following verses:
4 The LORD said to Moses, 5 "Accept these from them, that they may be used in the work at the Tent of Meeting. Give them to the Levites as each man's work requires."
Join me in considering what each of us has to offer that can be used to further the kingdom work.
