Moses was not to build the house according to his own
desire but according to the pattern given to him.
This shows that God is interested in the way we pattern
our lives and whatever He wants us to do for Him.
We must not choose our own way but allow God to
guide us by His word in all we do.
God also told Moses that all the children of Israel
should give willingly for the building of the tabernacle.
He expects us also as friends of Jesus, to contribute
generously and willingly to building of proper worship
centres in our local churches.
As we obey, He will pour His blessings upon us.
