GOD’S WORD:

Exodus 38:22 And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.

 

 GETTING INTO GOD’S WORD:

    Come on let’s brainstorm. What is the next great church building program we can think of? Maybe if we had a trapeze act somewhere during the message. How about a flame thrower on one side of the platform and every time the preacher says Hell, Devil, or Satan a huge flame shoots out across the stage. OK, those ideas might be a bit extreme, but I think maybe you get the idea. Sometimes we make our mission to serve God a bit more complicated than God intended it to be.

 

     In today’s verse we see a very plain truth. Bezaleel simply did what God had told him to do through Moses. Nothing extra. No extra candle holders, no extras altars, no rugs, or curtains not asked for. He simply did what God had asked him to do. At the same time, he did not leave anything out. He did not cut any corners. He did not say, “hey I have a better idea, what if we did this instead?” He just did what he was gifted and called upon to do.

 

     I wonder at times if we are not making our mission to serve God so complicated that the next generation says to themselves, I could never do that. Or maybe we have cut so many corners that they think, I do not want to do that. The mission of going into all the world and to disciple those we reach is very simple. Let us go back to the marching orders God gave us in His Word, and just follow His directions.. 

 

 GETTING GOD’S WORD INTO ME:

    I am not minimizing ministry. There are times of trials. There is a requirement to study to show ourselves approved unto God. Yet there are times of great joy. There are days we usher people off the path of destruction to the Lord. 
 

Does the Mission of Serving God seem impossible?
