Reading: Exodus 25:1-9
Devotional: God begins His invitation not with demands, but with desire—"from everyone whose heart moves them." This reveals the heart of our Father: He doesn't want reluctant compliance but glad surrender. The Israelites had already been rescued from Egypt; the tabernacle wasn't a ladder to earn God's love but a response to love already given. Similarly, we don't serve God to make Him love us more—we serve because in Christ, He's already offered Himself to us. Today, examine your heart honestly. Are you going through religious motions with inner coldness, or is your heart truly stirred toward God? Ask Him to renew your willingness, remembering that He desires relationship over ritual, nearness over mere obedience.
