Exodus 35:35 KJV
Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.
Over the years in the ministry I have met many skilled people. Some of those skills cover the gamut:
• Carpentry
• Decoration and design
• Teaching
• Maintenance
• Art
• Computer skills and
• Etc.
But there is a difference between having a skill a person may use for income or recreation and having a gift a person may use for the Lord. That difference is heart. Exodus thirty five is all about the work of the Lord and it is all about those skills necessary to accomplish that work. But throughout the chapter it is more so all about the heart. Bezaleel, Aholiab and the women who sewed were given more than a skill; they were given the heart to use that skill for the Lord.
And God make their tribe increase.
We need more today whose heart is to see their skills used in the work of the Lord.
Some will do what needs to be done,
• If they are asked and
• If they have time and
• If they see no way around it
Some will
• See what needs to be done
• Make the time to do it and
• Can't be talked out of it
Because it is in their heart.
