And Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in whom the LORD has put wisdom and understanding, to know how to do all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, shall do according to all that the LORD has commanded.

Exodus 36:1

Those who are called by the Lord must do the work the Lord commands and they also must be skilled in the craft assigned to them. Well, it is God who gives them wisdom and understanding to carry out the whole work without deviating from the divine order.

Our call was not randomly made, but rather a decision of the Lord of the Harvest. Before calling us He prepared all that was necessary, so it is important to avoid being swayed by any feeling that might be contrary to the divine will. Undoubtedly, we are highly privileged because the Creator turned His attention to us. Now, we have to behave in accordance with the guidance we receive when we hear the preaching of His Word.

One thing is certain: the called are filled with wisdom and intelligence to do what they were commanded, because nothing is lacking to whom the Lord has appointed and commissioned. However, we have to watch because the enemy will do his best to get us out of our mission. We are the ones that God has already prepared with everything that is needed to execute His beautiful plan.

Our God is omniscient and complete; therefore He knows what I will need to fulfill my ministry until the last day. The best part is that He has already given me all the resources I will need in every way. With this in mind, I don’t have to accept the lies of the evil one, according to which I don’t have what it takes to accomplish the Lord’s plan.

We need to do the service of the sanctuary according to the gifts we have been granted within the limits we have – the Word of God. So it is important to pay attention to the way we act because the ends never justify the means. Under no circumstance should we go beyond what is written. If we act according to the biblical tenets, we will certainly be successful.

The important thing is not how much we have done for the Kingdom of God, but rather what we have done without abandoning the standards set in the Scriptures. Doing the work using whatever comes from the enemy will cause us trouble on Judgment Day. Remove from your heart all greed, conceit or other feeling that does not come from God. The servants of the Most High must never do His work using methods that are contrary to the divine will.

He who resorts to lies and temptation when doing something for the Lord is actually doing no service to Him because He does not accept anything that comes from the enemy.

In Christ with love,
