God Gives The Skill To Do His Will

-February 4, 2025-

Good morning beloved, happy Monday,

“See, I have called Bezalel, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship.”

(Exodus 31:2-3).

God called Moses and the Israelites to design and construct the tabernacle in the wilderness. It was a vital project to be used to worship and offer sacrifices to Almighty God.

Skilled artisans were needed to make all the components of the tabernacle. Here in Exodus 31, there were two men tasked to carry out this special assignment: Bezalel and Aholiab. There were also other gifted artisans, and they all did a fantastic job.

When God calls us, He equips us, and when He equips us, He uses us for His glory. He gives us spiritual gifts, talents, abilities, and skills. He also gives knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.

Everything we have is from God, and we should never forget it. Paul wrote to the saints in Corinth an entire chapter on spiritual gifts. 1 Corinthians 12:18 says, “But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He pleased.”

We cannot take any credit, for He works in us and through us. We should be thankful for the multiplicity of gifts He has given us. Christ is the Head and we are members of His body. This should keep us humble and well grounded.

God said of Bezalel, “I have filled him.” God is not only our source but our resource. I can do nothing without Him, but everything with Him.

Have a blessed day using everything God has given us for His honor and glory. Stay safe and healthy.

Our Prayer: God give me the skill to do Your will.
