Daily D – Exodus 36:6-7

by David Bowman | Jan 28, 2026 | Daily D | 0 comments

Exodus 36:6, 7 Then Moses gave an order and they sent this word throughout the camp: “No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” And so the people were restrained from bringing more, because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work. (NIV)

—

“ . . . because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work.”

“Where God guides,” say it with me, “God provides.”

Where did all these supplies come from? From the plunder of the Egyptians. (See Exodus 12:35, 36.)

Why did people give these gifts so freely? After camping for a year at Mount Sinai, they realized all they considered precious and necessary when they left Egypt had become nothing more than clutter in their tents. All of their treasures were too much of a burden to carry through the wilderness. These gifts were most valuable in honoring God, not in decorating tents.

What would benefit you to give away?

What burdens weigh you down or keep you locked in place unnecessarily?

How can God use the gifts you place in his hands, the same hands that gave them to you in the first place, to bless the lives of others?

I will declutter my life by living more simply and generously.

Our Father, there are burdens we carry today that remind us of your graciousness in days gone by. Bless us with the shift in perspective that reminds us that your past faithfulness will never become less so moving forward. In fact, your greatest gifts lie beyond what we clutch so strenuously now. Amen.

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
