In our culture we tend to downplay the notions of the heart. We’d rather keep our responses limited to logic. But that approach to life disables so many things in this life. Dr. Dobson states that marriage is many things, but most of all it’s emotional. Individuals that don’t get that struggle to create happiness in their spouses. Our spiritual life is similar. Walking with Christ will certainly engage our minds, but never doubt that it will deeply engage our emotions and stir our souls.
“So everyone in the community of Israel left the presence of Moses. Then they came back, every one whose heart was roused, whose spirit was freely responsive, bringing offerings. They came, both men and women, all the willing spirits among them…whose heart moved them freely to bring something for the work that God through Moses had commanded them to make, brought it, a voluntary offering for God”. ~Ex. 35:20,21,29
God had asked them through Moses to come together and build a tabernacle to house His presence. But notice what that request did in them. They became roused, responsive, willing, moved and wanted to act on God’s instruction. Know this; God may lead but it’s what comes next that determines if it will turn into great favor. There are some people who just can’t let their heart lead them in a generous response to God. But there are others who find God’s favor time and again because they simply act WHEN THEIR HEART IS STIRRED! ~Verlon
