What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty in our willingness to serve?

Scripture emphasizes that our willingness to serve God comes not from our own nature but from His prompting. As seen in Numbers 7, the princes of Israel willingly brought offerings without a prior command, illustrating how God works in the hearts of His people. Exodus 35:22 supports this notion by describing how those with 'willing hearts' contributed to the tabernacle. This divine stirring is emphasized throughout Scripture, showing that we indeed can do nothing to honor God without His intervention in our hearts.
