Exodus 10:26 KJV
Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.
Moses insisted that they take everything with them into the wilderness because they knew "...not with what we must serve the Lord..."
He could not budget
He could not deal with Pharaoh
They had to take it all with them because they did not know what all the Lord might desire.
We must remember that this was before the Law had been given. They did not know yet which kinds of animals the Lord would require for His sacrifices or how many of them. Everything was new.
It is true that there are some things that are already known among us.
We know salvation is only through the Lord Jesus Christ
We know that we are to gather on the first day of the week
We know we are to bring to the Lord on that day our tithes as He hath prospered us
Still, we do not know the specific dynamics of any given day of worship.
There will be a combination of people there that is unique to that day; some who usually attend won't be at church., some who have never attended will be there.
Every Sunday school class will be unique for the day; students will have experienced things the previous week which will give them perhaps a different spirit than they have had before.
From time to time there will be news brought forth at the services that will impact our own spirit in the service; perhaps the death of a saint or that one who is important to us is ill and in need of prayer.
Sometimes there will be a need that is unique to the particular service; a missionary may be there and an offering is taken for him, or else someone who usually performs a ministry is not there, and we will be called up to take their place.
Each week we, "...know not with what we must serve the Lord until we come thither." So each and every service we ought to come bringing everything before the Lord
Our time
Our talents and
Our treasures
And be ready to give any or all.
