Exodus 35:10-19 Skills, Gifts and Talents!

10Let every skilled craftsman among you come and make everything that the LORD has commanded:

11the tabernacle with its tent and covering, its clasps and frames, its crossbars, posts, and bases;

12the ark with its poles and mercy seat, and the veil to shield it;

13the table with its poles, all its utensils, and the Bread of the Presence;

14the lampstand for light with its accessories and lamps and oil for the light;

15the altar of incense with its poles;

the anointing oil and fragrant incense;

the curtain for the doorway at the entrance to the tabernacle;

16the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grate, its poles, and all its utensils;

the basin with its stand;

17the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the gate of the courtyard;

18the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the courtyard, along with their ropes;

19and the woven garments for ministering in the holy place—both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.”

Skilled and gifted are two descriptions used in different translations. 

Skilled: having or showing the knowledge, or training to perform a certain activity or task well.

Gifted: having an exceptional talent or natural ability.

But where do we get our skill and gifts?

God has given them to you so you can use them for His kingdom, to bring souls to Jesus Christ and to support His ministries.

“God has entrusted us with certain resources, gifts and abilities. Our responsibility is to live by that trust by managing these things well, according to his design and desire. (Ken Boa)

Are you using your talents well or have you buried them?

Blessings, David
