A while ago, I was reading Exodus 14 and verses 13 and 14 say, "Do not be afraid. Stand form and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still." The Lord fights constantly for all of our battles, especially the spiritual ones within. He is good and all we need to do is be still and know that He is Lord.
A couple of days ago I read Exodus 35:21, 36:6-7 ". . . Everyone who was willing and whose heart moved him came and brought an offering to the Lord fo rth ework on the Tent of Meeting, for all its service, and for the sacred garments. All who were willing. . . . Then Moses gave an order and they went this word throughout the camp: 'No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.' And so the people were restrained from bringing more, because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work." Wouldn't it be nice if this was the problem today. I think that we need to be wise to who we give to, yet I think it's impossible to give too much to the right source. Everything I have is God's and I need to remember that. It's not on loan. The things that God does give me though, I should go to Him to show me how to use it wisely for His good purpose.
