Wed.’s Devo - The Artists

Read Ex. 31:1-18 God called Bezaleel out of the tribe of Judah to fill with His spirit and give him the ability and knowledge of how to do all the artistic work in the tabernacle. He gave him the ability and gift to work in gold, silver, brass, gems, and wood carving. “Bezaleel” means “in God’s shade”. His father was Uri which means “fiery light”. His grandfather was Hur which means “white”. We are called to be a cleansed, fiery light dwelling under the shadow of God’s wing. When we live that way we have the anointing to minister in things only God can do. Bezaleel was also a clean, fiery light dwelling under the shadow of God’s wings. God gave him a helper named “Aholiab” which means “tent of his father”. His father was Ahisamach which means “brother of support” from the tribe of Dan which means “judge.” Like Aholiab we are called to dwell with the Lord and to love our brothers and work together in love. Together these two men were to make all the furnishings of the tabernacle, the utensils, the priest’s garments, the anointing oil,and the incense. Then God spoke to Moses about the Sabbaths. The sabbaths are holy days to the Lord. To us, they give us a picture of Millennium. No work is to be done and no one is to defile it or they are put to death. Ever noticed how when Jesus got caught healing on the Sabbath, he was healing in mass - everyone that heard him was healed on those days. It is a picture of Millennium, when everyone will be healed. They were to observe the sabbath forever to remember the covenant they had with God. To us, right now, the sabbath is a rest in the Lord. We should live in the rest of God everyday. Lord, help us to rest in you, under your shade.
