Exodus 35 / Jeremiah 38            Offer willingly vs. Hesitate

1.   Offer willingly

All of the precious gifts are offered willingly by God’s people.  All who are skilled are to come and work.  Those who are filled with the Spirit of God can engage in artistic craftsmanship. They work with each other according to the Lord's instructions.

2.   Hesitate

The king was caught in the dilemma of man's consideration and God's will.  He was hesitate and ended in misery.  One should  imitate the eunuch, who rescued the prophet without hesitation but continued to do good.

 

Psalm 85 / Revelation 14:20        Fear vs. Judge

God has turned from His anger and has restored the fortunes of the captives.  The enemy was judged and their blood was all over the earth.  Let’s fear God and do not return to folly.  Be loving, faithful and righteous to honor God.
