In Exodus 36
Bezalel and Oholiab were mentioned before in Exo 31.2-6 and now in Exo 35.30-36.6
God chose Bezalel and filled him with the Holy Spirit and gave him the akill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts which were needed in the construction of the Tabernacle. God also provide Oholiab to assist Bezalel the ability to teach others in the construction of the Tabernacle. We should not be discouraged of a task that we are now facing to do for God, because He will provide the right people, materials and finances when it is needed. Let is remember what is said in Philippians 4:19 "And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus"

James 4 with Commentaries, verse by verse
In James 4, deals with submitting to God because of the sinful nature in you. In verse 7 Submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. If you don't submit to God there will be wars and quarreling because these come from the battle within. We see this happening today, there are quarrels, conflicts, or wars started because "you do not have, because you do not ask God" James 4.2
In verse 13-17 Don't boast about tommorow because you have no idea idea what tommorow bring. Instead you should say, if it is God's will then I will do this or go there. Proverbs 27.1 said "Do not boast about tommorow, for you do not know what a day bring forth."
