BIBLE READING: EXODUS 31:1-6 (KJV)
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel 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, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.

Skillfulness is important in every area of life, and God has given every one of us unique talents and skills. These talents and skills are meant to glorify Him and serve others; therefore, it is important for us to discover the talents and skills that God has given us and develop them. Whatever skill you have, whether in music, writing, technology, leadership, teaching, designing, public speaking, or craftsmanship, God wants you to be excellent at it.
In Daniel 1:20, Daniel and his friends stood out with their wisdom and knowledge such that the king “found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.” Similarly, in today’s Bible reading, Bezaleel was filled with the Spirit of God and was also gifted with artistic abilities to build the temple.
My dear child, take your time to learn new things about the skills or talents you have been given. In today’s world, social media, especially You Tube, has made learning easier. There is almost no skill that you cannot learn on YouTube. You can also attend seminars and trainings, especially during your holidays, in order to develop your skills. It is not enough to have skills and talents; you must be excellent at whatever you do.
REFLECTION:
What skills do you have? Are you excellent with at them?
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: MARK 11, NUMBERS 36, DEUTERONOMY 1
HYMNAL: 10 I’M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY
1. I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
Refrain:
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven’s table land;
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
2. My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Tho’ some may dwell where these abound,
My pray’r, my aim is higher ground.
3. I want to live above the world,
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.
4. I want to scale the utmost height,
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till Heav’n I’ve found,
Lord, lead me on to higher ground.
