Daily D – Exodus 31:1-6

by David Bowman | Jan 27, 2024 | Daily D | 0 comments

Exodus 31:1-6 The Lord also spoke to Moses: “Look, I have appointed by name Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. I have filled him with God’s Spirit, with wisdom, understanding, and ability in every craft to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze, to cut gemstones for mounting, and to carve wood for work in every craft. I have also selected Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to be with him. I have put wisdom in the heart of every skilled artisan in order to make all that I have commanded you:“ (CSB)

An old song says, “Everybody’s got a gift to give.” This is true for even you.

God gives wisdom for work that honors him and blesses others.

The wisdom for special kinds of work beautifies. It draws our attention away from the bits and pieces toward the deeper reality and higher truths of God’s goodness and grace.

God’s gifts build a better world. Form and function, design and decoration yield deep satisfaction and settled enjoyment.

It’s Saturday. This is a good day to ponder how we can use our God-given gifts to display God’s goodness through the work of our hands, the thoughts of our minds, and the way we treat everyone we meet.

I will use the gifts God has given me to beautify the world.

Our Father, use what you have placed in me to express beauty, wonder, and awe that draws hearts and minds to your gracious goodness. Amen.

And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

Psalm 9:10 “Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.”

Daily D – Jonah 1:13-16

Jonah 1:13-16 Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before. Then they cried out to the Lord, “Please, Lord, do not let us die for taking this man’s life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man, for you, Lord, have done as you pleased.” Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. At this the men greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows to him.

Daily D – Amos 7:12-15

Amos 7:12-15
Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Get out, you seer! Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there. Don’t prophesy anymore at Bethel, because this is the king’s sanctuary and the temple of the kingdom.”

Amos answered Amaziah, “I was neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees. But the LORD took me from tending the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ Now then, hear the word of the LORD.

Daily D – Amos 4:12-13

Amos 4:12, 13
“Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel,
and because I will do this to you, Israel,
prepare to meet your God.”

He who forms the mountains,
who creates the wind,
and who reveals his thoughts to mankind,
who turns dawn to darkness,
and treads on the heights of the earth—
the Lord God Almighty is his name.
