***God Gives Us a Desire for Our Work***

[SoldOut4Christ]

Today's Prayer
Dear Lord, I have so many things going on in my life. Please help me to know which tasks are really important and what special projects or missions I should take on. Open my eyes that I may see what foundation the project is based on and remember the experiences you have demonstrated in my life that would help me to do the project well...or that would serve as a warning for me to stop and not get involved in a specific project. Help me to examine my motives, skills, qualities, and abilities related to accomplishing the task. And please guide me in every step, that I may choose your will and receive your blessings. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.

God Gives Us a Desire for Our Work
TGIF Today God Is First Volume 2, by Os Hillman

You shall call, and I will answer You; You shall desire the work of Your hands (Job 14:15 NKJV).

Did you know that God has already pre-wired you for the work He created you to do? We all have things inside of us that excite us when we think about it. God is the source of this passion. However, our career path may require many stepping stones before we reach the work that we were ultimately created for. The psalmist says "All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be" (Ps 139:16).

When the ark of the covenant was to be designed to contain the sacred ten commandments, God prepared a man to perform the important work.

"Then the LORD said to Moses, 'See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts -- to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship'" (Ex 31:1-6).

We do not know much about Bezalel, but you can be sure he had many jobs leading up to this most important assignment. He was also the first man mentioned in all of scripture to be "filled with the spirit of God."

When your work is empowered by the Spirit of God you will be hand-picked for some of the most important assignments. He says the skilled worker will even serve before kings (Prov. 22:9). God will see to it that your skills will be used for His ultimate purposes. This is the call of God for each of us -- to be fulfilled in our work and to use our work to fulfill His purposes on the earth.

He seals the hand of every man, that all men may know His work (Job 37:7 NKJV).
