Exodus 36:3
“and they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, with which to make it. They brought yet to him freewill offerings every morning.”
What does Exodus 36:3 mean?
The Israelites were so moved by God's call to build the tabernacle (a portable place of worship) that they kept bringing materials day after day, even after the initial collection was complete. This wasn't compulsory giving, but rather an outpouring of generosity and devotion that continued fresh each morning. What's beautiful here is that the people's enthusiasm didn't fade after one collection; their hearts remained engaged in contributing to something sacred. This captures what happens when people feel genuinely connected to a meaningful purpose, rather than simply obeying a command.
