Person who connects with God
Exodus 31:1~11 Then the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts.to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver, and bronze, (1~4)

Many people tell others to have hope and be courageous before problems. Moses, a man of God, fell into despair before God. However, Moses was a person who connected with God. He believed the Word of the covenant that he heard from his mother when he was young. Children of God must hold on to the covenant before today’s problems of poverty, relationships, mind, spirit, future, and the past. We must meet God inside the covenant.
1. Covenant of Exodus (blood sacrifice)
God who called Moses commanded him of blood sacrifice that solves the problem that cannot be solved by the power of man. The only method to solve the problems of curses and disaster that come to all who have left God is Jesus Christ. The experience of Moses and the Israelites who could save the lives of their firstborn in the face of the ten plagues was the beginning of true blessings, conquest, and peace that they would begin to enjoy. This is the reason why we must relay the Gospel. The solution to the fundamental problem of mankind is restoring the life that is in Christ Jesus who is God. The answer to why you and your loved ones are suffering is only Jesus. What does the power of the blood of Christ have to do with me? Do I have the heart of the evangelist who proclaims Christ?
2. Life held in God’s hands
Mankind must meet God to be happy. We need spiritual strength to attain true happiness. God who knows this commanded us to do everything centered on the tabernacle and live our lives centered on the tabernacle. The tabernacle is a place of God’s presence and the place from which we receive spiritual strength. Today’s Scripture reading explains in detail how to decorate the tabernacle. Think about how detailed and field-centered our life of faith should be. God calls a man and gives him wisdom, knowledge, insight and skills he needs. God must be the lord of our lives. If so, then we must see God’s sovereign plan. We must realize the reason to go to Canaan. My life today is the field of blessings that is firmly held in God’s hands.
-God who has called me also gives me the power to easily manage the tasks I must do. Do you have a calling? Earnestly ask for the help of the Holy Spirit so that you can realize the covenant and put it into action.
