A vow was made to God; it was a gift to Him of oneself or one’s property — it did not matter. There is One who judges; it is the Lord Jesus, for Moses, who is the one spoken of in “thy estimation” again and again in this final chapter of his third book, is a type of the blessed Son of God in a day yet to come, when Israel shall be in their own land once more.
Even the smallest (one month old), and these poorer than the estimation, are accepted — according to ability. It is not the world’s standard of excellence that counts, but something- unknown outside — the “shekel of the sanctuary.”
What is our service for the Lord when weighed and valued by Him? Let each of us who are redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, think this over solemnly. What has He obtained in me, for whom He died? Has He my heart, my life? If not, why not? Is He not worthy?
