Exodus 31:3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, 4. To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 5. And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
The mind is a terrible thing to waste!
God has blessed each person on planet earth with a talent or several talents. Some of us like to read a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, like me and have brilliant brain power and can do a multiplicity of creative things all at once. Some of us love to work with our hands. Some of us can fix or install air condition units, pipes, electrical fixtures, design and decorate rooms, make wreaths, bouquets and clothes. Some of us love to plow the lands and farm. Some folks love to fish or care for animals. Some folks love drama and dance while others love to draw. Some folks like teaching and mission work while others love medicine, architecture, construction, politics, engineering, nursing, cooking and we can go on and on. Some folks do a very good job serving under a leader in church or working in government. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that talent either. We each have different callings in life. This is what makes the world tick. Our differences and individual ideas and creativity.
Do you get my point? We all have been blessed with one or several talents from the Most High God so that we can survive in life and make our contribution to earth while we have life and breath.
Sadly, many people are born and die and never really utilize such talents and take them to their graves. This is so many times because such persons spent too much time looking at how others were accomplishing great things in life and wishing they were them.
Many persons take their talents back to their graves because they spent too much time being JEALOUS of the talents of OTHERS when God gave them their very own to make a big difference in the world and to make MONEY to survive.
Society also is sometimes to blame for many brilliant minds ending up crazy or in prison. Why do I say that? It is simply because global political systems try to FORCE youths not to be OPEN MINDED and CREATIVE for fear of young people being a threat to their leadership and rising in the global economic system too fast. Therefore, many global political systems do all in their power to suppress young minds and new creative talent and not offer them the FUNDING they need, or ENOUGH FUNDING to pursue or fulfill all their dreams, therefore keeping them PROPERLY CONTROLLED AND IN BONDAGE. This is very sad and sickening. THESE TYPE OF SYSTEMS MUST CHANGE. AS YOUTH AND ADULTS, IT IMPERATIVE THAT WE FIGHT FOR SUCH SUPPRESSING SYSTEMS TO CHANGE or we would be forever suppressed and marginalized. All of us are EQUAL. Black, white, Indian etc etc etc. We are all equal and deserve a FAIR SHARE.
The mind is a terrible thing to waste!
As most persons would be aware, throughout time, God has personally selected key persons to lead his people and people around the world in different countries. Many of such leaders start out leading Godly and then let money and power turn them corrupt, while there are the few who start out leading with God's help and end their leadership with a pure mind, pure conscience and pure soul that they did RIGHT and SERVED OTHERS.
In the passage under review today, God instructs his chosen leader MOSES, to call out and set apart or ordain a new person to make a positive impact in MOSES' society. Bezaleel is CHOSEN. Exodus 31:2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
Notice, God's first words to Moses as he talks with him about Bezaleel. "I have filled him with the SPIRIT." This suggested back then and still NOW, in this 21st century that NONE OF US IS ANYTHING WITHOUT GOD.
God shows Moses that Bezaleel was a mechanical GENIUS. From doing my extensive research on this young man, I learned that he probably acquired great knowledge in Egypt while under slavery and gained many skills. Let's learn something from Bezaleel. Even in a tragic situation, you can COME OUT ON TOP if you keep your head on and STAY FOCUSED. He learned all these skills while IN SLAVERY.
Bezaleel was very useful as well as liberal. He was good in the arts and a first class artisan and competent enough to take charge of both the plain and ornamental work, the building of sacred sacrifices and we can go on and on. Bezaleel was just talented and HE PERSONALLY DECIDED THAT HE WOULD STAY LEARNING as he recognized, thousands of years ago that THE MIND WAS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE.
In closing, you're probably asking or saying, Brother Khrystus, God isn't fair to give some people multiple talents or skills to make it through life and to only give me one or two. God is always fair and just, no matter the pain and trials we experience in life. God is ALWAYS fair and just and He knows what he is doing or allowing EVERY TIME to bring out the BEST in us. Remember Job? Remember Daniel?
1st Peter 4:10 addresses this concern. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. Romans 12:6 also says We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith;
The answer lies in God's word. Once we stay focused and use our single gift or multiple gifts to GLORIFY GOD, He will reward us faithfully. Stop wasting your talent or talents. Don't let them go to the grave with you. Stop looking at what everyone else is doing and how they are supposedly succeeding. STAY FOCUSED! Get up! Stop complaining! Use your talents! Do something!
The mind is a terrible thing to waste!
Don't give up! Hope is definitely ahead!
