i’m back!! actually, it’s quite a praise...i’ve been able to keep up with the brp! there was a time..in genesis where i was really struggling to keep up. i had to revamp my system and now it works out great! so, praise God. yesterday’s and today’s passage really reminded me of God’s provision. if you haven’t read it, or read it yet, allow my to give a brief synopsis. basically God has just given a bunch of instructions that help the israelites to worship and commune with Him properly. there’s all this stuff they have to make... altars and curtains and lampstands and utensils. the plans are very detailed, very elaborate. there is no other way to make it except the way it’s explained by God. the awesome thing is He decides to use the israelites to do accomplish the building of His holy place. He places in the heart of the people the desire to give. there’s no requirement. just however much you want to give, you give. it makes me wonder if there were some sort of competition/jealousy or status equivalent to how much one gave. but it’s not mentioned at all... so the people gave according to what they could and what they wanted to give and there was so much donated that eventually they were ordered to stop giving. the precious metals and fabrics donated were in abundance! and then! it’s awesome because God blesses certain people to be artisans and as a result they have no trouble building the holy places and things.

if it is God’s plan and purpose, there will be nothing lacking. He will never give instructions or a task and just leave you to do it alone. He provides all you need and He will go beyond blessing you. you will never lack in knowledge or wisdom. when you’re doing what God wants you to do there is absolutely no fear of failure or pressure to succeed. being obedient and letting God be our source of everything is our only goal and focus. it is God who grows and God who provides. it’s His plan and it’s perfect...

have a great thanksgiving ya'll
