This is a rather uneventful interlude, where the artisans blessed by God with great talent build the Dwelling and its various elements according to the specifications God previously provided (and which are repeated in detail here). But one sentence grabbed my attention. The lead up: Moses recognizes that God has gifted two individuals, Bezalel and Oholiab with very special talents, and they will lead the work of building the sanctuary. And then this:
Moses then called Bezalel and Oholiab and all the other experts whom the Lord had endowed with skill, men whose hearts moved them to come and take part in the work.
There are times for sure when I recognize that my heart moves me to take part in something, to use my talents for others. I am sure there are many more times when God calls me or my heart tries to move me, and I don't hear, or don't want to. But how amazing and humbled I feel when my heart moves me to do something good. I also recognize, sometimes, that the work I do "at work" can provide the opportunity to give God glory, to do His work and His Will. Working hard, with integrity, using the talents He has given to me, gives Him glory and, yes, on occasion, even moves my heart.
