Exodus 31:1 Then the LORD said to Moses, 2 “See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— 4 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 5 to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts.

The Bible is full of well known people like Moses, who did great things for God in his generation. We say, "Moses built the tabernacle in the wilderness." Technically, Moses was RESPONSIBLE for the tabernacle and its articles. However, the man who actually built the tabernacle and crafted items such as the altar and Ark of the Covenant was Bezalel and a team of artisans.

God uses people of diverse gifts and skills to fulfill His purpose and bring substance to dreams and visions. The church is the Body of Christ. Senior leaders carry vision and great responsibility, but they are not alone. The church needs people like Bezalel who bring their gifts and skills to God's work. More important is the wisdom that God gives for that work.

Ask God to empower you to serve. Open your heart to GRACE to serve. Through Christ, let these words become true for you: "I have filled (your name______________) with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills.
