S – Then all the artisans who were doing all the work for the sanctuary came one by one from the work they were doing ⁵ and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than is needed for the construction of the work the Lord commanded to be done.” 

Exodus 36:4–5 CSB

O – The people gave more materials than were needed to do work the Lord instructed.  What a great problem!  

A – Everybody is doing their part.  God has a vision for his sanctuary.  Moses gives the vision to the people.  The skilled artist do their part while supported by resources from the people.  It is amazing to see the unity of vision, action and support in this story.

R – Lord, each of us play a part in your story.  Help us to have the sensitivity to know which part and when we should do it.  Help us to be generous with our time, talent and treasure because they all flow back to you.
