Construction of the Tabernacle

Earlier we saw the, what I guess you could call, Blue Prints God gave Moses for the tabernacle and all its furnishings. Here he repeats almost word for word the instructions God has given him. Moses then proceeded to ask for donations as well as craftsmen to help in construction of the Tabernacle and all the other elements that are to be built. You know sometimes we do not have very much money and when the basket comes around on Sunday morning it goes by us and we feel the guilt when our hand does not put something in. But remember that God only asks us to give what we can give. Not any more or any less. So if it's $.25 then that is what it is. You see when we give we get joy.

Those that were chosen to serve God had to have had the Holy Spirit in them. Don't you think? It even says "The Spirit of God". He is called the eternal, the Spirit of the Lord and the Spirit of God. He is omnipresent the creator and the one who brings us new Life. The spirit filled Oholiab and Bezalel which gave them the power and strength to build that tabernacle.

Today the Holy Spirit is working just as hard in us. It gives us the ability to understand what we read in the Bible. To understand Jesus Christ and what He taught us. It is the source of our JOY!. It helps us in our prayers. When we are filled with the Holy Spirit in our prayers you KNOW IT! The Holy Spirit is what gives us the fruit of the spirit when we respond to it.

Look, when God asks us to do something He not only gives us the directions on how to do it, but the ability. It is so important to know what God wants and more then that we need to go and do it. What is God asking of you right now? Will you go? He will give you the ability to complete it through the Holy Spirit.
