Moses told the Israelites, "See, God has selected Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. [31] He's filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and know-how for making all sorts of things, [32] to design and work in gold, silver, and bronze; [33] to carve stones and set them; to carve wood, working in every kind of skilled craft. [34] And he's also made him a teacher, he and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. [35] He's gifted them with the know-how needed for carving, designing, weaving, and embroidering in blue, purple, and scarlet fabrics, and in fine linen. They can make anything and design anything. Exodus 35:30-35 (MsgB) God gave these two incredibly gifted individuals to Israel to build the tabernacle and all the necessary equipment. They were awesome, skilled tradesmen. But did you catch the phrase in verse 34, God also made them teachers. It is one thing to possess unbelievable skills it is another to pass it on to others. I personally believe that one of Jesus' favorite names, a name He liked to be called was teacher (rabbi). What skill, talent has God given to you? Are you passing it on? |
