Quest for God's Purpose day 3 of 27

Purpose Clue #2: Something I am good at is part of my purpose.

God can use what you are good at to glorify Himself in amazing ways. Think about Bezalel. God made Bezalel a great artist. Bezalel used his art skills to work with artists to make beautiful decorations, furniture, robes, and fragrances. These artworks were placed in God's special tent called the tabernacle. When people visited the tabernacle, the beautiful decorations, furniture, robes, and fragrances made them think about how wonderful and mighty God is. What Bezalel was good at was part of his purpose to bring glory to God.

Watch: Bible Theater: Exodus - Moses Leads the People/ Building the Tabernacle

Tell Someone: What skills do you have that will make others think about God?

Exodus 31:1-11 NKJV

1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 3 And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, 4 to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, 5 in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship.

6 “And I, indeed I, have appointed with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the gifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you: 7 the tabernacle of meeting, the ark of the Testimony and the mercy seat that is on it, and all the furniture of the tabernacle— 8 the table and its utensils, the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense, 9 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base—10 the garments of ministry, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests, 11 and the anointing oil and sweet incense for the holy place. According to all that I have commanded you they shall do.”
