In the building of the tabernacle, as described in Exodus, the people offered their very best—their best talent, and their best materials. So much that Moses had to tell them to stop bringing offerings! In worship we are inspired to bring God our best. This does not mean that we bring to God “the best” but “our best.” In the community of faith God uses people who may be far less than perfect; but our ordinary gifts become part of an extraordinary purpose as we devote ourselves, and what we have, to God.
