Being Bezalel

I am a fan of mentoring -- or "discipling" as a preferred learning method.  I read something in Exodus 35:30 and following today about how God "staffed up" the construction of the tabernacle in the wilderness.  It goes like this:

Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the LORD has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills—- to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of artistic crafts. And he has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others. He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers—all of them skilled workers and designers.

God endowed a master craftsman, Bezalel, with the Spirit and with know-how in all aspects of the artisanship of the tabernacle.  God also enabled Bezalel and Oholiab to teach the craft to others.  They could have been the stars of the show, but they were enablers of others for a purpose... to get the tabernacle constructed.

There are talented people everywhere.  Nashville is loaded with talented people.  More important, many of those talented people have a spiritual history and desire to honor God with their talents.  Are you one of them?  Do you view your gifts and talents as God-given and purposeful?  It is my own prayer to be like Bezalel and Oholiab.  I hope you have a similar desire for the things God has blessed you with, as well.
