Bezalel had no idea how to build a tabernacle. None had ever been built before! However, God “filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, intelligence, and skill in all kinds of crafts” (Exodus 31:3). God has so much wisdom and creativity that He made not just a tabernacle but also a universe! He “established the heavens” and “marked off the earth’s foundations” (Proverbs 8:27, 29).
The person referred to by the writer of Proverbs was called the “architect at his side” (v. 30). What a joy it is to work alongside God! He is the Creator, and He is able to impart His creativity and wisdom as you work for Him. The key to attaining that creativity is the Holy Spirit.
Bezalel’s ideas did not come from his brain, but from his spirit. In 1 Corinthians 2:10, we read how the “Spirit searches out everything and shows us even God’s deep secrets.” He wants to reveal those secrets to you. So claim His creativity today in your work, your finances, and your ministry. Then build according to the blueprint He shows you!
