[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Exodus Overview]] | [[Exodus 35]] ## Title: The Lord Has Gifted You ## Scripture: (Exodus 35:35) “He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as craftsmen, as designers, as embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and in fine linen, and as weavers. They are craftsmen in all the work and artistic designers.” (NET) ## Observation: In today’s passage, we see that God had given specific gifts to Oholiab for constructing the holy objects. This sounds like a specific set of skills that would not make him good at many other jobs. However, he had been given a group of skills that made him suited for this particular task. The Lord does the same for us. He gives us a specific set of skills that make us good at some things and not good at others. This does not mean we cannot do many different things. It simply means God has gifted us to do certain things. We are not an accident. We are not “unqualified.” The skills may be raw and untrained, but they are there. Only the Lord knows what that purpose is and what type of training we need to do His will. Therefore, never think of a day wasted or a training unneeded. It is all part of God’s plan. ## Application: How can you apply yourself today so you’ll be prepared for what the LORD has for you tomorrow? ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for giving us a purpose.
