Willing Heart

Exodus 35
21a All whose hearts were stirred and whose spirits were moved came and brought their sacred offerings to the Lord…22a Both men and women came, all whose hearts were willing…

God has just given instructions on a special project to prepare for construction of the tabernacle, and the people all went back to their tents to gather the necessary materials for this project. Moses notes that all who “hearts were stirred,” or ”spirits were moved,” or “hearts were willing” gathered up more than enough for what was necessary. God desires our willingness more than He “needs” our sacrifice. However, when we combine the two, God is honored even more. May my day today be filled with a willing heart, a spirit that is moved, and a desire to serve in Jesus’ Name!
