Chapter-a-Day Exodus 35

What I have I offer. Then they came back, every one whose heart was roused, whose spirit was freely responsive, bringing offerings to God for building the Tent of Meeting, furnishing it for worship and making the holy vestments. Exodus 35:21 (MSG)

Everyone was at the meeting when Moses came down from the mountain. Everyone saw his face shining with God's glory. Everyone heard God's Message from his lips. Everyone dispersed. Not everyone came back. 

Those who returned were those whose hearts were roused and whose spirits were responsive. They came back with something to offer.

I don't want to be the person who was merely checked off for my attendance before God. I want my heart roused. I want my spirit to be freely responsive. I want to reciprocate with something tangible to offer.
