Having a willing Heart, Part 2

Exodus 35:5 Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; Among those that say to serve God, are two sorts of people. The first group, the true worshippers, serve Him with a willing heart, and the second group, the fake worshippers, "serve" Him unwillingly, that is, they are the hypocrites that have no desire in God's service. God accepts the willing people, but He rejects the unwilling ones. In our text, God commanded the people to bring offerings to Him, to build the tabernacle in the desert. But attend to His words. He does not merely command to bring the material to Him, but He says that they should do it willingly. No, more strongly, He only accepts it from them that are willingly. He even doesn't speak of the unwilling, because they don't count. This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying: Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a -- WILLING HEART --, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; Whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring the offering. Who has an unwilling heart, let him keep his offering, and let him not lumber the Lord with that material. The Lord only accepts willing people, but He rejects the unwilling ones.
