A recurring theme throughout the articles of furniture in Exodus 37 is acacia wood and gold. Acacia wood is known for its durability and solidness, gold is pliable and corrosion-resistant, and both are known for being heavy and dense. Though the Israelites were regularly on the move, God did not choose any lesser or lighter material for the articles through which Israel would worship Him. In the Tabernacle, nothing was modest or of a lesser quality. Likewise, though simplicity is necessary in our personal and social lives, in our service to God nothing should be held back. The Ark of the Covenant, with the two Cherubim guarding it, was where God would show His divine presence. Here was where God would communicate with His people, sometimes through a voice in the cloud, and sometimes through light resting on the angel to the right or a shadow resting on the one to the left, signifying approval or disapproval. This exemplifies the importance of God’s servants in the plan of salvation. He wants to use anyone who will allow Him to. When we hold nothing back, and allow God to use us and change us, He will do amazing things. Jeffrey Saelee

The specificity of the instructions in Leviticus is a reminder that God loves order, organization, structure, and precision. God is also a lover of beauty and artistry! Those who are gifted in the arts must surely find encouragement in these chapters. V.1 states that God Himself gave artistic talent to Bezalel and Aholiab. Using their gifts in building the tabernacle brought honor to the God whom they served. The people gave to the building project with such joyous generosity that ultimately the command came, "Bring no more!" Not often today do we hear of fund-raising for a specific mission project that brings in so many resources that the leader says, Enough! Contribute no more! The energy, creativity, tenacity, and passion of ancient Israeal to collectively build a worship edifice that would honor God remains an ideal for God's people today. Whether we serve the Lord as a janitor or an architect, let us also worship God with our talents, doing all "with excellence, as to the Lord." Cindy Tutsch

Israel contributed to God’s tabernacle and the spirit of willingness was manifested. The idea of giving with a willing spirit is repeated five times (Ex 35:5, 21, 22, 26, 29). Despite establishing the importance of His law, God’s worship is based upon freedom of choice. A willing spirit is the fruit of a thankful heart and this is the true spirit of worship. Obedience to God’s law and a thankful heart is at the foundation of the worship established with the building of the tabernacle. The gifts brought by the people were the fruit of the condition of their heart. The beauty of the precious gifts of gold, bronze, rare stones were to please the eye only as a reminder of the beauty of the relationship between God and his people. The symbolism implied within the tabernacle would establish God’s relationship not only with Israel but the entire human race. Questions to ponder: Are the beauty of God’s sanctuary and imagery contradictory to the commandment given in Exodus 20:4? How is it different? How can the proper context give new significance to the content of imagery? Giselle Sarli Hasel

God again gives specific instruction to Israel not to make molten images and to destroy the altars, images, and cut down the groves where these idols were worshiped. These injunctions were not always followed. Eventually, idolsβ―were actually placed in the temple of Jerusalem by King Manasseh of Judah in the seventh century BC. The cult ofβ―"asherah"β― worship was very prevalent at that time, according to the archaeological record of the excavation of hundreds of clay goddesses. Certainly God knew what a temptation these images would be for Israel. How is it today in our lives?β― If time should last, what would archaeologists say about us thousands ofβ―years from now when they excavate our homes? How would they interpret the black TV screens situated on the walls of our living rooms and bedrooms with furniture strategically facing them? Will they interpret these as objects of worship? How much time do we spend with God’s Word every day in comparison with the other distractions of life? God’s words found in this chapter are still true for us. “For the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.” He longs to beβ―our all in all! Michael Hasel
