After yesterdays post about how God might choose one person to do something where we would share it out, we see here the flip side of that where each Israelite over 20 had to donate something to the building. What is worth noting is that even if a few people carry out a lot of the work, it is not an excuse for others to not do anything. As humans, our church history is mainly either a few people doing everything with everybody else doing nothing or else the opposite end of the spectrum where everybody is involved in everything and those with genuine anointing are missed out. Here we see that challenged. The Israelites gave money and materials but for Christians, they represent more than just money. They represent time and prayer and most importantly, they represent the fact that we should support and uphold those in positions of ministry rather than criticising them or clawing for their role.
Naturally that is easier said than done in some cases...
