I Have Called…..
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. “And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, “to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, “in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship. “And I, indeed I, have appointed with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the gifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you. Exodus 31:1-5
Bezalele and Aholiab and all the gifted artisans received their giftings from God.
God placed in their hearts a desire to work creatively with the things God placed before them, filled them with the Spirit of God and granted them wisdom and understanding to complete the work.
The work was ultimately for the glory of God; the glory of God in the temple.
What gift has God placed inside you today?
What wisdom has He granted you? Are you using that gifing?
Are you using that gifting for His glory?
What God has given, we must use with wisdom and grace, for His glory and the benefit of His kingdom.
What a privilege to have the Spirit of God residing within us, directing that gift!
