20Then the whole congregation of Israel withdrew from the presence of Moses. 21And everyone whose heart stirred him and whose spirit prompted him came and brought an offering to the LORD for the work on the Tent of Meeting, for all its services, and for the holy garments.
22So all who had willing hearts, both men and women, came and brought brooches and earrings, rings and necklaces, and all kinds of gold jewelry. And they all presented their gold as a wave offering to the LORD.
23Everyone who had blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen, goat hair, ram skins dyed red, or articles of fine leather brought them. 24And all who could present an offering of silver or bronze brought it as a contribution to the LORD. Also, everyone who had acacia wood for any part of the service brought it.
25Every skilled woman spun with her hands and brought what she had spun: blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen. 26And all the skilled women whose hearts were stirred spun the goat hair.
27The leaders brought onyx stones and gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece, 28as well as spices and olive oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.
29So all the men and women of the Israelites whose hearts prompted them brought a freewill offering to the LORD for all the work that the LORD through Moses had commanded them to do.
“all who had willing hearts ♥️ “
The willingness of the people is mentioned repeatedly. (Kaiser)
Has the Lord ever prompted you to have a willing heart?
I look back at my life and there are several times the Lord prompted me to have a willing heart, adoption, feeding the homeless, chaplaincy, being kind to widows and children’s ministry to name a few.
But I’m sure there were many times I ignored His prompting and I will have to kneel in His presence and confess why I buried the talent He entrusted me with.
If you are reading this, it’s not too late to have a willing heart ❤️!
Blessings, David
