Exodus 31

  • He Rested and Was Refreshed

    Right in the middle of the tabernacle instructions, God pauses to remind Israel about the Sabbath. And He says something worth sitting with: on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed. God built rest into the rhythm of creation. The Sabbath was not just a rule. It was a sign, something that marked His people as belonging to a God who provides enough in six days that you don’t need the seventh. Today’s devotional is about what it actually means to trust God enough to stop.

  • Filled for the Task

    After six chapters of detailed tabernacle instructions, God tells Moses: I have already chosen the man to build it. His name is Bezalel, and I have filled him with My Spirit, with wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and all kinds of skills. Not a preacher. A craftsman. Today’s devotional is about what happens when you see your practical gifts and abilities not as your own, but as something God placed in you for a purpose He had in mind long before you did.
