God Will Make Something Special Out of You

Exodus 24:18; 25:10-15
Moses was on Mt. Sinai with God forty days and forty nights. I wonder
what that was like? Oh the wonder of it all. Awesome!
God told Moses to make a chest. The people were to bring offerings of
gold, silver, etc. to use in making this chest that was to be
something very special, the Ark of the Covenant.
Now, some, maybe all, of this gold and silver and so on had come from
the Egyptians. Isn't that interesting?
God is going to make something special for His people, His chosen
ones and He asks them to bring the stuff the Egyptians had just given
them before they left Egypt. He's going to make something Holy and
He's going to use not new gold and not gold held only by pure hands.
Isn't that just like God? He takes us human beings - not pure but
very common and blemished and wraps us with His cloak of
righteousness, made possible by Jesus death on the cross; then He
draws us to Himself in fellowship.
Awesome!
