Using Our God-Given Talents

Exodus 35:10 ff

There's something else that's remarkable about the description in Exodus as God gives instructions regarding how the Israelites are to build his Tabernacle. Not only did God give talents to the people to do the work well, they used those talents for His glory. Exodus 36:2 describes the people as eager to get to work. Exodus 35:25 says that the women who were gifted seamstresses were sewing for the project. As I think about Christianity in the workplace, what I think about is using our God-given talents for his glory. Whatever your talent is, how can you use it in such a way as to glorify Him? And I don't think that has to mean only in a church or on Sundays. Those are included, of course, but I think we can be glorifying God with our talents in a variety of contexts (which of course is the point of this blog).
