The thing that struck me today was how much Bezalel was asked to do with regard to the construction of the tabernacle. It is again something that troubles us that one person should be asked to do so much, either because it is 'unfair' for one person to do so much or because it is not fair that one person gets credit for so much of such an important job.
This is where God differs from men. For God, there is a person who should do a job because they are anointed to do it. Not because they are necessarily the most skilled (although they might be) and not in a nice 'share it out' way to everyone can muck in but simply there is a correct person for a task or tasks and that person should do them.
In our churches, do we follow this simple procedure? Do we simply ask God who should do or lead something or do we try and share it all out or give it to our closest friends or those we think will be 'safe' rather than inspired. Do we choose people to do things when God would rather that they not be done?
