How much of our best do we give God today. Do we give him the most costly of our gold and silver, or does he get the left-overs. The builders of the great cathedrals recognized that God was worthy of the best. Can we say the same about the prefab church structures of today? Is God worthy of more than we are giving?
In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out; but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out—until the day it lifted. So the cloud of the LORD was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel during all their travels.- Ex. 40:36-38 NIV
God rewarded the faithfulness of the Israelites in building his tabernacle by being faithful in return. Are we losing his guidance because we have brought him down to our own level and no longer recognize the sacred nature that demands only the finest and best for his glory. Just asking.
