Exodus 31 - a reminder...

Exo 31:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Exo 31:2  See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
Exo 31:3  And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
Exo 31:4  To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
Exo 31:5  And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
Exo 31:6  And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee; 

  • What's God been speaking into your heart recently?   What images has he dropped into your heart?  Have you recorded them somehow?  Have you a plan in place to start work on it?
  • God has called us by name - He knows us and our gifting intimately (and what He wants to achieve through our gifting, despite how we may feel), and He knows that He can do through us more than we can ask or imagine!
  • We have to remind ourselves constantly that "....[He has] filled [us] 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 [...all sorts of exciting media...]"
  • Who has God put alongside you to achieve your vision (and theirs)?  Are you connecting well? Communicating? Building into each others' live?  Remember, God is a God of multiplication.
  • And lastly, remember that God has put, or wants to put, wisdom in your heart that you would create wisely, not as the world would.  But seek out that which is from God and wisely, in collaboration with the Holy Spirit, put together your artworks that will touch a dying world - create for life!
