“A great man is always willing to be little.” 
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

EXODUS 34-36

“Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whom the LORD has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the LORD has commanded.”

MATTHEW 23:1-22

“The greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”

JOURNAL

God gives the skills and talents with which to live out our calling in life.  The skills and talents are within each of us and it is in our obedience that we find joy.  Therefore if I am to look to things to exalt myself I will only find myself humbled but if I understand that I am not the creator of my talents and humbly accept them and use them in honor of God then God will exalt me.
