5 From what you have, take an offering for the Lord. Everyone who is willing is to bring to the Lord an offering... 21 and everyone who was willing and whose heart moved them came and brought an offering to the Lord... 22 All who were willing...26 And all the women who were willing and had the skill...29 All the Israelite men and women who were willing brought to the Lord freewill offerings for all the work the Lord through Moses had commanded them to do.
I don't know where I'm going with this but as I read this today for a second time it really jumped out at me all of the times he mentioned being willing as well as using the skills he had given them. He has given us all direction and his expectations and he has given us unique skills and resources. He expects us to follow the direction and use those skills and resources but at the same time its up to us, we have to be willing, he is going to make us.
He has given me plenty of resources, skills might be debatable but this fits with your point yesterday. Am I doing as he is asking me with the skills and resources he has provided. Even if I am, am I doing it willingly with the right heart.
pretty tough questions or at least tough to answer out loud completely honestly and feel good.
