This is part of a video series covering the entire Bible in 4 years, one chapter at a time. Start at the beginning with Genesis 1 (Youtube link: https://youtu.be/wC2qD4RGOdo) and work through the playlist. Or go to https://www.peace.org.au/bible.html for more information.
In this video listen to Exodus 38 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.
In Exodus 38 we see parts of Exodus 27 and 30 repeated but now in a past tense of having happened, rather than in the future tense as before. What we are seeing here is the willingness of the Israelites to actually do what God said.
Previously God did things for them, and they were largely ignorant of Him, but now they have seen a certain amount of His dealings, not just miracles, but also the golden calf incident. They have collectively now chosen to obey and follow.
There comes a time in the life of every person when they must choose for themselves. For children there is an age of accountability, and for every person there comes a time when they have learned enough information and they become responsible for their choices. This video considers this, and asks, will you choose the way of God?
