Then everyone came whose heart was stirred, and everyone whose spirit was willing, and they brought the LORD’s offering for the work of the tabernacle of meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments.
—Exodus 35:21
Here we see a spirit of generosity in the Israelites when they gave to build the tabernacle of the Lord.
When asked to provide materials for the sanctuary, everyone whose spirit was willing brought the Lord’s offering for the work of the tabernacle.
The Israelites eagerly donated their gold jewelry, colored thread, fine linen, silver, bronze, gemstones, and spices. Some also gave their time and talents.
If we follow the Israelites’ example and willingly donate our resources, we please and honor God with our attitude and offerings.
The Lord, who sees and knows our thoughts and hearts, loves cheerful givers.
He Himself is the best example of generosity (John 3:16).
The Lord Jesus Christ gave everything He had for our sake.
Let us give with a willing heart so that our gifts will truly honor Him.
