Reflections

If we are to get our obedience to God right, we need to get the details right.  We need to be Spirit-led and Spirit-empowered.  Often, God does not spell out all the details but when we are Spirit-led and empowered, we will get the details right. 

Exodus 31:2 - 3 (NIV) 2“See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,  3and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts—  

Exodus 31:6 (NIV) 6Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given skill to all the craftsmen to make everything I have commanded you:  

God spelt out many details for the tabernacle but not all.  Yet He empowered the craftsman to interpret God’s intention with creativity and to get it right.  The detail we go to shows our attitude.  Is your attitude: “Near enough is good enough” when serving God?  Or is it: “Let’s get it right?”
