Seize the Moment – Day 513
An Important Puzzle Piece!
Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Thursday, August 12.
Do you like to put together jigsaw puzzles? What happens when you have spent hours putting together an intricate puzzle only to find out that there is a piece missing?
The picture is not complete when even one piece is missing!
Throughout this chapter, you hear the refrain, “He made…”, which references Bezalel, the chief craftsmen. He was responsible to take all the detailed instructions from Exodus 25 up to this point and using all the materials provided by God through the people to oversee the work.
The reality is that it took an army of craftswomen and craftsmen, as well as a community of generous givers, to bring this project to completion. The tabernacle of God and all its furniture would not have been made to specification if it wasn’t for every single person coming together!
The same is true in the church today and our ability to accomplish anything. We often reference the leader of a ministry, the teacher of a Sunday School class, or the missionary overseeing a mission, but it takes every single piece of the puzzle to get the job done!
Seize the moment and find your unique place in the church because without you the picture is not complete. You are an important and valuable member of the body of Christ!
