Motivation


Exodus 35:20-21        New English Translation

20 So the whole community of the Israelites went out from the presence of Moses. 21 Everyone whose heart stirred him to action and everyone whose spirit was willing came and brought the offering for the Lord for the work of the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments.

 

Motivation 

 

Motivation came from the outside or does that seem not right?

The Holy Spirit moved on them and they did not resist or fight

They wanted to please God, I see, and God supplied that right

He moved on their desires so their "Will" joined with God’s plight

 

When God speaks with a still small voice, do I freeze into soft clay?

Not knowing what to think or do and beyond guessing what to say?

Should I yield on short notice without questioning or quietly pray?

I know that the unexpected opportunity leaves at the end of the day
