Exodus 35 Willing hearts and spirits

There is an old saying that idle hands are the devil’s workshop. How true that is! Perhaps that is why God plans work for His children, whether it is harvesting or building, God has a purpose and a plan just to combat that saying. In our reading today we see that God chose to bless those with willing hearts and spirits to prepare the items for the building of this tabernacle. It was a massive undertaking out there in the wilderness but God had prepared for this time by having them store the riches of Egypt as they departed. They probably wondered why they had so much and such riches out there in the desert. Yet these beautiful items were given to Bezalel and Oholiab to build this structure as a place of worship. Both men were blessed by God for His work. 

Every step was to honor God and to prepare a place of worship for the people. Today do we have willing hearts and spirits to do the work of God as Bezalel and Ohlioab had? Take a snapshot of your work today and contemplate that question.
