Praying Constantly

"Tell the Israelites to bring me an offering. You are to receive the offering for me from each man whose heart prompts him to give." – Exodus 25:2 (NIV)

"Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them." – Exodus 25:8 (NIV)

God asked the Israelites to bring an offering, an offering from their hearts.  That offering was to provide the raw materials to build a place for God to dwell with them.  I hope this doesn’t sound preachy but he is asking the same thing of us today.

That offering needs to be 100% of ourselves, but what God is asking you for is whatever your heart prompts you to give.  In that offering you have made a sanctuary for him to dwell, in you.  The more room in your life you make for him, the more he will accept.  He will fill your life, but only if you open it up and make room for him.
