God’s Plans? God’s People!
Read: Exodus 31:1-6

I have given ability to all the skilled workers to make everything I have commanded. Exodus 31:6

After I joined the board of trustees of a seminary, the long-term leader announced his retirement.

I found myself among those tasked with searching for a new president.

Together, we amassed a daunting list of qualifications. How would we find someone to fulfill such a complicated and vital role?

I wondered the same as I read God’s specifications for the tabernacle’s lampstand to be crafted of pure gold, with flower-like cups and almond flowers and six branches (Exodus 25:31-36).

And the courtyard was “to have curtains of finely twisted linen, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases and with silver hooks and bands on the posts” (27:9-10).

Who could fulfill such assignments?
God answered, “I have chosen Bezalel. . . and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills . . . to engage in all kinds of crafts” (31:2-5).

God also said, “I have given ability to all the skilled workers to make everything I have commanded you” (v. 6).

Where do we turn to fill a vacant role for a high-level leader, a volunteer at church or to orchestrate an event?

To the God who calls and equips His people. God laid out an ambitious design for His temple.

Then He chose and equipped His people to implement it. God’s answer to His plans is God’s people.
— Elisa Morgan

How have you seen God gift people to do His work? What has He equipped you to do?

Holy God, I look to You to choose and equip the people needed in my life, my church, and in my place of work.

📔1Peter 5:6-7(TBV)
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
---
Kaya't kayo'y mangagpakababa sa ilalim ng makapangyarihang kamay ng Dios, upang kayo'y kaniyang itaas sa kapanahunan; Na inyong ilagak sa kaniya ang lahat ng inyong kabalisahan, sapagka't kayo'y ipinagmamalasakit niya.
---
To be humble at all times is not easy. We need to learn, embrace and live with it. To be humble is the best thing we can do in our life. As the bible says, if we humble ourselves God will lift us and exalt us in due time.

📔Isaiah 46:4(NIV)
Even to your old age and gray hairs
I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.
---
He is never going to leave you and He will never change from being omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient.

Revelation 4:11 (NIV)
“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”

Reflection:
This verse directly addresses God, ascribing to Him all glory, honor, and power, for He created all things, and they exist by His will. He is our eternal and immutable God, whose plans and purposes can never fail. We surrender ourselves entirely to Him, allowing Him to reveal Himself to us and to use us in building His kingdom.

Habits and the Holy Spirit
Read: Romans 12:1-3

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Romans 12:2

“Did you grow up around here?” It was difficult to answer my dental hygienist’s question because her teeth-cleaning tools were still inside my mouth.

She explained that in 1945, our city became the first in the world to add fluoride to public drinking water.

Thought to prevent cavities, the treatment doesn’t require much: just 0.7 milligrams of fluoride to a liter of water. Its positive effects are obvious to a trained professional.

But, I had no idea, I’d been drinking it all my life!
The things we consume every day can affect us over time.

That applies not only to food and drink but also to entertainment, friends, and social media messages.

The apostle Paul cautioned, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2).

While the Holy Spirit is making disciples of Jesus to be more like Him, the process takes a lifetime.

Our habits can help or hinder His work. It’s not always easy to recognize what we’re consuming, but we can ask the one who’s rich in “wisdom and knowledge” to show us (11:33).

Wisdom and discernment help us “test and approve what God’s will is” (12:2), while considering ourselves with “sober judgment” (v. 3).

Whatever He might be asking us to add to or remove from our daily lives is worth the price. All things are “from him and through him and for him” (11:36). He knows best.
— Karen Pimpo

What’s one habit that reveals the Holy Spirit’s work in your life? What’s one that might be hindering His work?

Holy Spirit, thank You for working in and through my life.

Digging For Meaning

📔Psalm 62:2(ESV)
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.
---
What a coincidence! I fell asleep listening to sermons on my laptop. Then, when I got up, the topic was about Stand Firm-Joy in the Crisis by Pastor B**g, and when I opened my Kakao, our prayer guide posted by our pastor was connected with it.

"Faith on the right foundation makes us stand firm in any life situation.

We need to stand on the true foundation, Jesus Christ. He is eternal; there is no other foundation. Jesus said, If you hear my words and obey them, you will be like a man who built his house upon a rock, Storms will come, but you will remain strong.
