The Spirit and Bezalel

The Spirit Comes
The Pledge of God's Presence


The Lamb of God

Exodus 31:1-11  The Message

Bezalel and Oholiab

31 1-5 God spoke to Moses: “See what I’ve done; I’ve personally chosen Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur of the tribe of Judah. I’ve filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him skill and know-how and expertise in every kind of craft to create designs and work in gold, silver, and bronze; to cut and set gemstones; to carve wood—he’s an all-around craftsman.
6-11 “Not only that, but I’ve given him Oholiab, son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, to work with him. And to all who have an aptitude for crafts I’ve given the skills to make all the things I’ve commanded you: the Tent of Meeting, the Chest of The Testimony and its Atonement-Cover, all the implements for the Tent, the Table and its implements, the pure Lampstand and all its implements, the Altar of Incense, the Altar of Whole-Burnt-Offering and all its implements, the Washbasin and its base, the official vestments, the holy vestments for Aaron the priest and his sons in their priestly duties, the anointing oil, and the aromatic incense for the Holy Place—they’ll make everything just the way I’ve commanded you.”
 
For Reflection 
God has prepared you from be fore the beginning of your earthly life.  God has endowed you with skill, know-how, expertise, and a capacity for creation.  Not all have the same talents.  Not all play the same role.  But, all have a place equal to all others in God's plan.  Listen for the Spirit dancing in the meadows of your mind and follow.  Be grateful, your role is paramount in God's plan.Live a creative life in service to God.

Pray
that you will see the value of your own talents in creating the Kingdom of god on earth. Pray and listen to God and understand the wisdom of your presence, here and now.
