________________________________________

A gift becomes different when it is offered freely. You can tell when someone gives with resentment, pressure, or a need to be noticed.

After hearing Moses’ call, the people leave and begin bringing offerings for the tabernacle. Everyone moved to give brings jewelry, gold, yarn, linen, skins, silver, bronze, wood, oil, spices, and precious stones.

First Peter 4 says each person should use the gift they have received to serve others as a good steward of God’s varied grace. Exodus 35 shows that in action.

God gives gifts and receives gifts. He fills Bezalel with skill and stirs the people to generosity.

Jesus gives Himself freely for us. He does not serve from pressure or self-display, but from love.

Name one gift, skill, or resource God has placed in your life. Use it today to serve someone without needing recognition.

________________________________________

REFLECT & RESPOND

Key Line: Your gifts are not proof of your worth; they are tools for love.

Reflection Question: What gift or resource have you been comparing, hiding, or using mainly for yourself?

Practice: Use one skill or resource today to serve someone in a specific way without seeking credit.

PRAYER

God, thank You for every gift You have entrusted to me. Keep me from comparison, pride, and passivity. Teach me to serve others as a steward of Your grace.
