Exodus 35:30-35 (NIV)__________________________________________________________
Bezalel and Oholiab
30 Then Moses said to the Israelites, "See, the Lord has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 31 and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts - 32 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 33 to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of artistic craftsmanship. 34 And he has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others. 35 He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as craftsmen, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers - all of them master craftsmen and designers.
Father recently I agreed to help out a friend to build his demo website, and promised myself to build a tool for a colleague to help out in his work. The motivation behind these is that I believe You gave me these talents to help people, not just to earn a living, get married, have children and then die to join You in heaven.
No, I really don't think that's the only purpose You have for me.
I want to use my talents so that it helps others, make their lives easier, and through these, reflect Your kindness and gracefulness to them. I do these not to earn praises from them, but rather, from You. By Your will Lord, guide me to do things that will bring glory and praises to You.
