“Then the LORD said to Moses, See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, and I have FILLED HIM WITH THE SPIRIT OF GOD, WITH WISDOM, WITH UNDERSTANDING, WITH KNOWLEDGE AND WITH ALL KINDS OF SKILLS to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage all kinds of crafts.” (Exod. 31:1-5)
So, here is the inquestion, does God call the equipped, or does God equip the called? The answer is YES! Because God can do anything, and He knows EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING!!! “If any of you lacks wisdom, YOU SHOULD ASK GOD, who GIVES GENEROUSLY to all without finding fault, and IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU. But when you ask, YOU MUST BELIEVE AND NOT DOUBT, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.” (Jam. 1:5-7)
When I got saved I was working as a Software Design Engineer and we were finishing a project that had to work before I could leave for my very first Youth Convention. We checked and rechecked and could not find the problem. So, I went off by myself and told God I did not know what to do, please help me! This still small voice said “recompile.” It did not make sense but I went in and recompiled the program and IT WORKED!!!
I received and was filled with the Holy Spirit during that wonderful Convention.
NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR THE LORD…
