Exodus 36-37, Psalms 7, Luke 6:27-49
What God said to me – The Tent of Meeting and later the Temple were the center of the life of My people, the Jews. It was where I met them, and it was where they came to worship Me and give their offerings and make their sacrifices. This place was of utmost importance in their spiritual lives. Yet the ones who made these places were craftsmen, just simple people who used their talents and abilities to serve Me and in doing so changed the world by their obedience. I didn’t call great and powerful people for the task and then supernaturally gift them to do it. I called common people who used their natural talents and abilities in obedience to their call. In the same way I use your natural talents and abilities to serve Me and accomplish My plans. The question is – are you available and willing to serve? Don’t worry that you’re not a great leader or speaker or outgoing or charismatic. I want to use you where you are and who you are to accomplish My plan. Are you willing to serve?
