BEZALEL - D.I.F.G.



It’s great that Carl highlights one of the lesser known and under-appreciated men of the Bible. I haven’t met too many guys with the name Bezalel –in total, none – but I have met many who have been like him in so many ways.


Who are you doing it for?
DIY is not on my top ten list of things to do, but I am always grateful for those people who have practical, creative, artistic abilities who can ‘make stuff’. I’m not sure where I would be without them or where the Kingdom would be without them. People who mend my car, paint my house, clean my windows, service my gas boiler, where would I be without them? Probably walking, living in the 1970’s still, unable to see out of my windows and cold!


‘God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well.’ (Romans 12:6 – NLT) And when each person uses their skill and ability, whatever it is, then everyone, the individual and the whole, finds the meaning and purpose that God – the skill giver – gave it to you for.


Let everything you do, whatever it is, point people to Jesus. Give it back to God and see what happens to you and to the people around you. What you do will be ‘an act of worship and a sure sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit in the world.’ Do It For God!
