The Ohio Independent Baptist, April 2001

Dear Ladies of OWMU ecently r once agai n read the eventh chapter of u1nber . 1 ead each and every word in all 89 ver e . I did not "cheat." L read every hard-to-pronounce name and every repeated Ii t. When I wa done. I knew that when the tabernacle wa co1npleted, on twel e con ecutive day a leader fro1n each tribe of I rael brought the very ame gift and offering fo r the dedication of the altar. Each brought one ilver di h that \Veighed 130 hekel , a ilver bowl that 'A'eighed 70 hekel , both filled wi th fine flour mixed with oi l fo r a bu111t gra in offering~ one go ld pan that \veighed lO heke) , filled with incen e: one bulL one rain. one male la1nb one year old, for a burnt offering~ one male goat, for a in offering: two oxen, fi ve ram , fi e n1ale goat , five n1ale la1nb one year old, fo r a peace offering. Jn heaven . if J bun1p into ah hon, ethane!_ Eli ab, Elizur,ShelutnieL Elia aph, Eli harna. Gan,alicl,Abidan, Ahiezer, Pagiel or Ahira. I' 11 be able to say honestly, " I read about you and your offering." I' 11al o be able to a k then, how to pronounce their name , and hov. 1 they 1nade sure their i Iver di h weighed 130 shekel !! Why do you think God had Nu1nbcr · 7 written this way? Why didn 't He conden e it by Iisting the gi ft and offerings only once? The chapter cou ld contain only 34 \ erses. I be! ieve the almo. t n1onotonou repetition how the \ alue Ciod placed on each gift and offering. The si/e of the tribe did not ,natter. The Lord \\,a~ plca~ed with the gt ft. Perhaps that v.'a~ what IJc told OWMUOFFICERS President Mrs Sue Miller 1750 Fllnth1II Drive Columbus OH 43223 614-875-4128 Vice President Mrs Susan Johnson Box 247 Huntsburg OH 44046-0247 440-636 5543 Secretary Mrs Betty Dyak 1911 Eldridge Avenue kron OH 44301 30· 724 9676 Treasurer Mrs Ruth Shoe 8859 State Rt. #47 West DeGraff OH 43318 937-585-6255 Mo e when He 1net with him in ver e 89. A I read that chapter, r thought of our Oh io Women' Mis ionary Union. We con1e together fro n1 a lJ over Ohio. We repre ent individual churche , ome large, ome ma ll. We bring the gift and offeri ng ofour time, talent , and monie We don' t bring the ame a1nount as tho e in Nu,nber 7 did, nor do we 1n eet twelve con ecutive day (wou ldn 't that be fun?) but the Lord value each indi vidual gift and note each one. Then, in our "tent of meeti ng," He peak to our heart . When \"le leave and go our eparate ways He con tinue to u e our gift and ou r live to bri ng J1onor and glory to Hi Nan1e. If you've 1net vvith u , you' ve experi– enced the truth and bles ing of what 1• e hared. If you haven ' t, you can in Mary vi lle on April l 7. I ' d lo e to have every church in our OARBC repre ·ented. Wi ll you help make that and our projec t goa l a reality? l 'm praying you will. ow take time to read u,nber 7! In Hi Love, ucMi llcr P. .
