Enough For Today.

There has been so much going on lately...so many changes, so many decisions, so much to think about. I truly am learning that faith is the step between promise and assurance...and even though the Old Testament contains mainly principles for us to follow, not promises for the New Testament Church, God has been teaching me a lot through it.

"Moreover, I have given special skill to all the gifted craftsmen so they can make all the things I have commanded you to make:

the Tabernacle;
the Ark of the Covenant;
the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement;
all the furnishings of the Tabernacle;
the table and its utensils;
the pure gold lampstand with all its accessories;
the incense altar;
the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils;
the washbasin with its stand;
the beautifully stitched garments—the sacred garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments for his sons to wear as they minister as priests;
the anointing oil;
the fragrant incense for the Holy Place." --Exodus 31:6-11.

God gave to all the craftsmen of the Tabernacle the specific skills they needed to complete the tasks He created them for...nothing more, nothing less. It is the same for us in the body of Christ. He gives us the gifts and the passions to do what it is that we can bring Him the most glory in. He shapes a path for us in this earthly life that will lead the most people to Him. He knows the end from the beginning, so of course He knows better than we do why things are happening.

"The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?" --Proverbs 20:24.

I am fully confident that my God has given me all that I need for the step that I am on in this journey of life...and I won't receive the next portion until He moves me a step further.
