The LORD God gave information to Moses concerning the man God chose to head up the construction of the tabernacle. God gave Bezalel many artistic and practical abilities to do God’s work, God’s way.
(NASB) Exodus 31:3-5 “I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship,
4 to make artistic designs for work in gold, in silver, and in bronze,
5 and in the cutting of stones for settings, and in the carving of wood that he may work in all kinds of craftsmanship.”
The LORD gave Moses a list of everything Bezalel would make for the tent of meeting (the Tabernacle). All its furniture, the altars, the priests’ garments… all were to be made by Bezalel and his assistants. God gave these men their artistic talents. Exodus 31:7-11
How do you use the abilities, the skills, the talents God gave you?
The LORD’S work is to be done by the people He chooses. It is the LORD’S instructions we are to follow. He gives us the abilities, the skills, the talents and we are to use them for His glory.
