As I was reading Exodus, I was struck by the thought that the tabernacle, where God was going to dwell, was built from offerings, freewill offerings.

As mothers (and as Christians) we are tasked with building others up. We build those in whom Christ is going to dwell. God tabernacles with us, by His Spirit dwelling in us.

We are building these tabernacles in our homes, these holy places, our children.

The tabernacle was a holy place. It was set apart. It wasn’t to be like everywhere else. We aren’t meant to raise our kids in the culture and follow the whims of the “experts,” which can vary wildly one decade to the next.

God sets out a very particular pattern for His tabernacle. The builders follow the plan to the T.

Don’t you want to know the plan for building these tabernacles and preparing the way for the Lord in their lives?

Don’t look anywhere besides the Lord for a plan, a how-to. No one has God’s plan for your life, that includes you!

There’s only one Man with the plan, the good plan, the best plan, the perfect plan. And it requires only one thing.

Humility.

You can’t do this. You don’t know what to do. You don’t have what you need, except that You have Jesus who is everything, can do all things, and knows all things.

Give your children to God to parent, to teach, to guide, to counsel and offer yourself to be His tool in that however He sees fit. That’s your freewill offering, you, all of you for His perfect purposes.

He does all things well. He makes all things beautiful.

I had to learn this lesson. So, let me say, if you are like me and know there were ways you missed the mark on this one, do not fear. There are no regrets in Christ Jesus. He is Lord even when we mess things up. He was there. He knows how to turn it for good. He does all things well and knows how to make ALL things beautiful.
