Rich Slaves

Numbers 7 describes in great detail the offerings of the leaders of Israel. These were in addition to all the offerings used to build and furnish the tabernacle. Where did they come up with all this wealth? Weren’t these people just living in servitude in Egypt? The answer is that they plundered the Egyptians on their way out (Ex 3:22, 12:36). Resources are not a problem for God. He moves them where he needs them when he needs them (talk about “just in time logistics”). The world is his warehouse. In Christ all things belong to you (1Co 3:21-23). And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Phil 4:19).
