So the two chapters before this were a struggle and I thought this one would be too, but in taking another look at the last few verses I found encouragement:
43 Moses inspected all the work - and they had done it just as the Lord had commanded - they had done it exactly - and Moses blessed them.
Prior to this verse we see that the people being before Moses all that The Lord required of them to build/make. That stood out to me because they didn't bring things here and there, or a half finished product, they bright everything before Moses once it was complete! But verse 43 really bright it home for me because Moses, upon making sure all the work was done EXACTLY as God as directed, blessed the people. This is two fold for me because 1) what we bring before God needs to be exact and 2) we will be blessed upon following instructions.
So up to this point I stated how awesome it was that God had already given the Israelites what they needed to complete the tasks at hand, both in materials and skilled workers. God has now shown, in my opinion, that He will also give us the the ability to complete the task He's given us and do so exactly, and upon completion will bless us. There is nothing but goodness and favor that comes with following God's instructions and doing the work of The Kongdom. Nothing in these chapters said it would be easy, or happen over night, but He will give us the drive and ability to complete it correctly if we but follow His guidance and trust in Him. It took a lot of faith, in my opinion, to go about completing such great tasks that would honor God forever amongst His people. To construct where your Heavenly Father would reside amongst you, what?!?! Not a task on be taken lightly and it certainly wasn't and because such great detail went into completely the task, they were blessed!
Take heart, the assignment set before you may seem great, but work diligently and know that upon its completion, you will be blessed!
Love y'all !
