Today's Reading: Exodus 35
In today’s
passage, we see that the people of Israel generously gave of their own
resources to provide the materials and supplies needed for the construction of
the Tabernacle.
The phrase
"whose heart moved them" is particularly significant in this verse.
It suggests that the Israelites were motivated not by obligation or duty, nor
by routine or tradition, but by a genuine desire to participate in the work of
the Lord. They recognized the significance of what they were doing and were
eager to contribute in any way they could.
The term
"free will" generally refers to the ability of an individual to make
choices that are not predetermined or coerced by external factors. It is the
capacity of a person to make decisions that are not solely determined by
biological, environmental, or psychological factors, but rather by their own
conscious choice and agency.
Free will generosity
is the type of generosity God desires from His people, and the type He will
reward and bless. What a joy it is to give of ourselves and our resources in
this manner.
This passage
is a powerful reminder of the importance of generosity and voluntary giving in
the life of faith. It shows that true worship and devotion to God are not just
about fulfilling obligations or following rules, but about giving of ourselves
freely and joyfully to participate in His work. When we give with a willing
heart, we not only support the work of the Lord, but we also experience the joy
and fulfillment that comes from participating in His kingdom.
