To whom does your heart belong?
To whom does your heart belong?
Has God moved your heart?
Exodus 34-35
Toward the end of today’s reading we read:
Exodus 35:21
And they came, everyone whose heart stirred him, and everyone whose spirit moved him, and brought the Lord’s contribution to be used for the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments.
And
Exodus 35:29
“All the men and women, the people of Israel, whose heart moved them to bring anything for the work that the Lord had commanded by Moses to be done brought it as a freewill offering to the Lord”.
Yesterday I wrote about the fact that God has given us everything; not just material goods, health, and wealth, but talents, abilities, and intelligence. I also wrote that this made us His stewards, care-takers of everything He has placed in our care. What is the proper response of His stewards in response to the trust He has placed in us?
Today we see that those whose hearts are moved bring anything for the work the Lord has commanded. Is your heart moved? Do you acknowledge that the source of all you have and are comes from God? Are you using all of that to your own selfish purposes or for the glory of God? He put you together in a unique way to be used for His purposes. I can’t imagine you are as happy as you could be if you are not using His gifts for His purpose.
What do you think?
Have a blessed day!
Your brother and servant in Christ,
Bill
