Every Person Has a Place

Exodus 35:30-35 (ESV)

30Then Moses said to the people of Israel, “See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; 31and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship, 32to devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze, 33in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, for work in every skilled craft. 34And he has inspired him to teach, both him and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan. 35He has filled them with skill to do every sort of work done by an engraver or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, or by a weaver—by any sort of workman or skilled designer.

Exodus 35:25-26 (ESV)

25And every skillful woman spun with her hands, and they all brought what they had spun in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. 26All the women whose hearts stirred them to use their skill spun the goats’ hair.

Bezalel was called by name and filled with the Spirit of God to do vital work in the construction of the tabernacle. So was Oholiab. And the women. And many, many others.

Your gifts might not look as outwardly spiritual as someone else’s, but you are vital in the Kingdom of God. You have a place, and that place has a purpose. There is a church that needs the gifts God has placed in YOU. There are people in your life that need the gifts God has placed in YOU.

You are called where you are with the gifts that you have. You have a place.
