When the tabernacle needed building, God filled a craftsman named Bezalel with his Spirit. Skill can be a calling.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Craft gets treated as the sideline and words as the real work, which leaves most people assuming their actual ability is unrelated to their purpose. A builder being specifically equipped to build suggests otherwise. What you are good at is not a hobby you do while waiting for a calling to arrive. It may well be the calling, in the form it was always going to take.

Name the thing you are better at than most people your age, even if it feels unserious, and use it once this week for somebody other than yourself. Fix something, make something, play something, sort something out.
