Prepare: If any one lacks wisdom, let him ask God who gives generously (James 1:5)
Read: Exodus 31:1-11
God's own selection: The passage clearly tells how God fore-ordained people to fulfill some important tasks. God chose Bezalel and Oholiab and filled them with necessary wisdom to prepare the materials for the Tabernacle. He also filled the craftsmen with necessary skill and wisdom to do various jobs. God not only gave the plan to Moses, He also supplied specially talented people to fulfill the task. What a marvelous God we serve! Hudson Taylor must have realized this to the fullest sense to make his famous statement, "God's work done in God's way, never lacks God's resources".
God prepares people to gather around to fulfill His specific purposes. We may have to ask God to reveal His specific plan for each of us. Rick Warren in his famous book, The Purpose Driven Life writes, "You were made by God and for God and until you understand that, life will never make sense. It is only in God that we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance and our destiny. Every other path leads to dead end". We should be careful enough to know that whatever we do should have the approval of God: education, training, work, business, etc. and we fit-in in the plan of God. Bezalel, Oholiab and other craftsmen were aware of the greater picture, and they fitted-in accordingly.
Respond: Lord, help me to understand my role in Your plan and align my life to fit-in.
