Exodus 38: This Is the Sum

This word refers often to counting things or people (it is in Numbers more than 90 times). God took account of all of the items that were given for the work of making the tabernacle and all of the people who were involved (including the workers and those who would need the services of the tabernacle). God sums up everything about our lives and uses it accurately to determine what He ought to do for us or to us. We should also take account of things in our lives and service, knowing that we will give an account to Him. God was able to do great things with what He got from them.
