Exodus: A Willing Heart


After all the instructions on how to build the tabernacle and its pieces in chapters 27 and 28, the materials are listed in Exodus 32, and even though most of the chapter involves the constant referral to the materials, something that stood out to me is that every time they called for it, it said "all who are willing" (verses 21, 22, 26, 29).

Only those who are willing will be the best servants. Serving has to be wholehearted, serving means to sacrifice, whether it be your time, your work, or whatever, one has to put something else before themselves to be able to serve. It does start at the heart. If you cannot learn to give things up, you'll never be able to serve. Where is your heart?

God has given each of us skills, talents, to use. It can be something common or something unique, but God specially gave that to you for a reason. Are you using it for Him?

Reflect on your heart.
Is it for God? Is it for you?
Are you serving God and others?

verse of the day: Mark 9:35
35 Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.”
