It's OK To Not Have Every Gift

Exodus 35:30-35
30 Then Moses said to the Israelites, "See, the LORD has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 31 and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts- 32 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 33 to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of artistic craftsmanship. 34 And he has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others. 35 He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as craftsmen, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers—all of them master craftsmen and designers.


God gave these men skill and knowledge to be creative and to create creative crafts and items to give to the Lord. These men were the best and, through the Spirit, was able to lead others to give to God in this way.

When reading through this passage, it hit me that God gives good gifts to people for specific things. And although I am not very creative and I suck and making crafts and designing art and stuff, I don't have to be. I don't have the gift of creativity and craftsmanship, but that's OK.

Thank You Father, because You are good. You love me so much, and I realized that it's OK not to have every gift in the world. You have set me apart and have plans for me and through those plans I know that You will be glorified. I pray for the gifts that I DO need, so that I may do all the good works in Christ Jesus. Give me strength and be with me Lord. I need You. I pray this in Jesus name.
Amen.
