Today’s Passage: Exodus 36
I wish that I could have seen what the tabernacle really looked like after it was built. After reading today’s Scripture passage, I could not help but be enamored at the shear detail and various intricacies that the Lord commanded His people to build.
The Lord has given each of us a special gift or ability. Like in this passage, He had given some the ability to be skillful craftsmen in order that they might use that ability to construct the Lord’s tabernacle. I’m also sure that they did so with all their might and ability in order to give the Lord their best work. Verses 3-4 show that the people went above and beyond to serve, to the point where Moses had to ask them to cut back.
I think about my own life and how He has given my special gifts, talents and abilities. Even the opportunities that I have that maybe others would not. Am I using these for the Lord’s benefit? Am I doing the tasks set before me to the best of my ability. Am I thankful for how the Lord has gifted me in the various areas of my life? I have to admit that often times I take for granted the gifts and talents the Lord has given me. The tendency is also to use them for my benefit most of the time. How are you using your gifts and abilities the Lord has given you?
God has a specific work and task that He wants us to carry out if we would be willing to do so. The Lord has equipped us with the gifts and abilities to carry out these things. Just as the Israelites had come to put to use their craftsmen abilities, we too must be aware of our gifts and abilities so that we can put them to good use for the Lord. So I challenge you to seek the Lord for Him to show you how to best serve Him and do so to the best of your ability!
