SCRIPTURE: Exodus (NIV) 31:2 “See I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts—4 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 5 to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship.
6 Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also, I have given skill to all the craftsmen to make everything I have commanded you:
OBSERVATION: God had delivered Israel from Egypt. By the pillar of fire at night and the cloud in the day, God led them to Sinai where He gave the 10 Commandments to Moses and an assignment to the Israelites. They were to build Him a tabernacle—a place where He could dwell with them. God had specific instructions for them to follow, but He did not give every specific detail.
For that, God chose Bezalel and appointed Oholiab and “gave skill to all the craftsmen.”
APPLICATION: When God gives me an assignment or a task, He will provide the knowledge and skill to accomplish His will. God is not depending on my wisdom. God already knows my limitations. God is depending on my obedience.
It may be a dominant thought, or a gentle persuasion, but I can learn to recognize how God speaks to me. If I am faithful in His word, I will easily recognize what is contrary to His will and will not fall for any of the enemies’ deceptions.
PRAYER: Holy Spirit, speak to me, teach me to recognize your voice. May I find the joy of doing what pleases you. Use me for your glory. Amen
