And the Lord "has inspired [Bezalel] to teach, both him and Oholiab... He has filled them with skill to do every kind of work done by an artisan or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and in fine linen, or by a weaver...." (Exodus 35:34-35)

What has God inspired you to do? What skills do you have which can be used for God's purposes?
