THE SPIRIT AND WISDOM IN OUR DAILY LIFE
The Spirit of God accords man with wisdom even in
materialistic matters. It was said of Bazalel son of Uri, who was
responsible of building the Tabernacle. He has filled him with
the Spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding, in knowledge
and all manner of workmanship, “to design artistic works, to
work in gold and silver and bronze” (Exod. 35: 30-35).
Bazalel used to work with stones. All his experience
dealt with collecting straw and making stoneware. He had no
idea of how to deal with refined matters. Who taught him the
workmanship of cutting jewels, designing artistic craft, and
chose him to work on all articles needed for the foundation of
the Tabernacle?
God yearns to bequeath on you His wisdom, not only
for your worship, but for your daily life. So that you may be
considered with Joseph, as a, “a successful man” and what was
referred to in Psalm one, “And whatever he does shall prosper.”
