Some of God’s gifts look remarkably ordinary until they are surrendered to His purpose.

Scripture Anchor:

“And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship.” Exodus 31:1–3 KJV

Apostolic Insight;

When we talk about being filled with the Spirit of God, our minds often go immediately to preaching, prophecy, prayer, or other visibly spiritual activities.

Then we meet Bezaleel.

God filled him with His Spirit and Bezaleel made things. He worked with gold, silver, brass, stone, and timber. His craftsmanship became part of the construction of the tabernacle.

That widens our understanding of purpose.

The ability to organize, build, design, write, repair, cook, teach, calculate, create, nurture, administer, solve problems, or work skillfully with your hands can become sacred when yielded to God.

Not every calling stands behind a pulpit. 

Some are called to build the place where others will worship,  prepare what others will use, solve problems no one else noticed, create beauty, or make things work.

Bezaleel reminds us that God is interested not only in what we call “spiritual gifts,” but also in the abilities He has entrusted to us.

Purpose begins when we stop dismissing what God has placed in our hands.

Ponder This:

What ability have I treated as ordinary that God could use for His purpose?

Declaration:

Every gift, skill, ability, and experience God has entrusted to me is available for His use.

I will not despise what He has placed in my hands.

#PrayerofAgreement

Father, thank You for every ability You have entrusted to me.

Open my eyes to gifts I have overlooked or undervalued.

I receive wisdom to develop them, humility to steward them, and discernment to use them according to Your purpose.

Let the work of my hands honor You.

In the matchless name of Jesus Christ, Amein.

Shalom,
Hephzibah Christly
