Read through the Bible in 2 years: Psalm 108; Exodus 38-39
“According to all that the LORD had commanded Moses,
Exodus 39:42-43 ESV
so the people of Israel had done all the work.
And Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it;
as the LORD had commanded, so had they done it.
Then Moses blessed them.”
The people had painstakingly carried out all the details of what the Lord had commanded through His servant, Moses, and when Moses saw their good work, he blessed them.
This reminds me of the parable of the talents that we read last month in Matthew 25. Both servants who invested well their talents – whether they had received two or five – were praised by their master with the very same words.
‘Well done, good and faithful servant.
Matthew 25:23 ESV
You have been faithful over a little;
I will set you over much.
Enter into the joy of your master.’
Heavenly Father, help us to serve You with a cheerful, willing, eager heart. Strengthen us to give back to You out of the abundance that You have lavished on us. Help us, also, to be encouragers, to speak honest words of praise and blessing to those we meet – our husband, our children, the cashier at the grocery store. Make us quick to give honor where honor is due. May we fix our eyes, hearts, and minds, on things that are above, looking forward to the day when we will see you face to face. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
