Scriptures: Exodus 31:1-5; Psalm 150:1-6

Exodus 31:1-5

New King James Version

Artisans for Building the Tabernacle

31 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ² “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. ³ And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, ⁴ to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, ⁵ in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship.

Psalm 150

New King James Version

Let All Things Praise the Lord

150 Praise^[a] the Lord!

Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in His mighty ^[b]firmament!

² Praise Him for His mighty acts;
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!

³ Praise Him with the sound of the ^[c]trumpet;
Praise Him with the lute and harp!
⁴ Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
⁵ Praise Him with loud cymbals;
Praise Him with clashing cymbals!

⁶ Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

^[d]Praise the Lord!

Exodus 31:1-5

The Message

Bezalel and Oholiab

31 ^1-5 God spoke to Moses: “See what I’ve done; I’ve personally chosen Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur of the tribe of Judah. I’ve filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him skill and know-how and expertise in every kind of craft to create designs and work in gold, silver, and bronze; to cut and set gemstones; to carve wood—he’s an all-around craftsman.

Psalm 150

The Message

150 ^1-6 Hallelujah!
Praise God in his holy house of worship,
    praise him under the open skies;
Praise him for his acts of power,
    praise him for his magnificent greatness;
Praise with a blast on the trumpet,
    praise by strumming soft strings;
Praise him with castanets and dance,
    praise him with banjo and flute;
Praise him with cymbals and a big bass drum,
    praise him with fiddles and mandolin.
Let every living, breathing creature praise God!
    Hallelujah!

6am Father, reclaim creativity, artistry, and imagination for Your glory and not for rebellion.

9am I break the seducing influence of darkness over music, film, fashion, storytelling, and performance.

12pm Raise consecrated artists filled with skill, wisdom, beauty, and holy boldness.

3pm Every altar using creativity to glorify perversity, violence, and idolatry, be overthrown.

6pm Lord, let songs, images, stories, and performances become carriers of truth and conviction.

9pm I decree that the arts mountain shall no longer be surrendered territory for the enemy.

12am Let worshippers, writers, designers, actors, and musicians encounter God deeply and create from overflow.

3am O God, release beauty married to truth and excellence married to holiness in the creative sphere.
