In the book of Exodus, God commissions Bezalel to make the Tabernacle and all of the items in it such as the Ark of the Covenant, the golden lampstand and the bronze basin. It says in Exodus 35 that Bezalel was filled with the Spirit of God in wisdom, understanding, knowledge and craftsmanship to work with gold, silver, stones, wood, fabrics and linen. He had quite an extensive skill set.
We happened to be reading through this chapter last week during our family Bible time, when it struck me - Sandy's dad is just like Bezalel. He is very good with home repair, electrical, woodworking, art, golf, horticulture and even cooking. He's been doing a ton of stuff to get us unpacked and set up in our new home. But he expanded his repertoire last week.He did some ironing of fabric.So that he could sew a curtain for us.And voila - we have some privacy and it looks good too.He even helped us wash our windows. He did about 3 months of work for me in 1 week and did it better than I could have. Thanks so much to our modern day Bezalel.We had another great visit with Sandy's parents.
