A Reflection on Exodus 31:1-6: Bezalel & Oholiab

The Exodus story says that God "called" Bezalel and Oholiab and "filled" them with the gifts needed to make all that God "commanded. In this short account of only six verses, the LORD wanted us to know that Bezalel and Oholiab were qualified and equipped to serve Him because they were filled with the Spirit of God.

God knows your name. He knows the talents He has given you. God has plans for you and for those talents. God has called you, He has commissioned you and He is confident in you and your abilities, because they aren't yours, they're His and it's His good pleasure and His good heart to offer them to you to build His desires, and where His vision is, His provision follows.

What has God called and equipped you to do? Let Bezalel’s and Oholiab's story be an inspiration for you to pursue your gifting and to listen as God calls you by name and fill you with His Holy Spirit.

Be Blessed.
