The die is cast and the players are now assembled to carryforth the Lord's intent. God's chosen craftsman Bezaliel from the tribe of Judah will be the chief architect of the plan. God's Spirit has filled him with the ability, knowledge and skill to execute this to the perfection required by the Lord. Oholiab will also be blessed by God and will be able to teach others how to assist in this tremendous undertaking. Once they were assembled and given the tasks , they were also given the offerings that would be used to make the items required. The people's generosity was so overwhelming that they were told to cease since they had more than enough to do the tasks.
I don't think that those who gave were necessarily looking to "buy" their grace but rather as a sign of thanksgiving and appreciation for what the Lord has done. They gave more than what was required which was in and of itself a good thing. Truly a sign that all was good (for now).
Praise for today: The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. Ps 51: 17
