Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Exodus 31:1

From the beginning of time, God has called upon artists to make His presence known on the earth. In the book of Exodus, we can read the story of Bezalel, the artisan who God chose to lead the building of the Tent of Meeting. It is said that this was the place that God would speak to Moses, “as one speaks to a friend”. This reading plan is for all those who serve their local church as part of the creative team and for all those who would like to know more about how God is calling us to use our creativity for His glory.

This 7-Day plan shows why art matters for every Christian. God is Creator, and as His creation, artistry is woven into the fabric of our design. Art helps us slow down, pay attention and devote ourselves to what matters as we see the world with empathy.

Exodus 32–34 chronicles how both Moses and God responded to Israel's creating and worshiping of a golden calf at Sinai. The people’s failure, Moses’s intercession, and God’s revelation reveal key insights into what it looks like to draw near to God, discern His heart, and reflect His image. This seven-day devotional will examine Moses’s interactions with God with a focus on learning how to flee idolatry and model ourselves after Christ.

As Christian creatives, we often believe lies about ourselves that hold us back from living out our artistic potential fully. When our identity and purpose are fogged by these lies, the only way to find freedom from them is to look to the only absolute truth—the Word of God. As you embark on the 7-day devotional, I pray that you will not just experience creative freedom but also spend time in the secret place drawing inspiration from God, the Grand Artist Himself.

Live a life of faith at work. Many Christian men today think eternal impact is only made on the mission field, but God wants to use you in your profession. These devotions by Os Hillman will encourage you to pursue God’s mission for you and share God’s hope in your workplace. No matter what your job title is, you can lead for God at work today.

Do you sense that you have something special to offer the world, but uncertainty or fear is holding you back? God is calling you to create. How do I know this? We yearn to create because we are made in the image of the Great Creator. Whether it is a business, family, program, ministry, or book, our Creator God has given us a deep desire to co-create with Him.

In the Create & Activate reading plan, author Aaron Wesley Davis equips readers with biblically-based principles that will enable them to embrace their God-given creative potential and become sources of inspiration for others.

Friendship with God is all about growing your relationship with God. Throughout scripture God has many names. Comforter, Lord, Protector, Provider and on. One of the things He called Himself that really hit me hard was that He called Himself my friend. What could life look like if we live like God was actually our friend? This changed my life and I hope it will change yours as well!
