GOD, GIVE ME THE SPIRIT OF BEZALEL
Bezalel was not primarily known as a preacher or prophet. He was a craftsman. A designer. A builder. A man with practical skills.
Yet God chose him for a divine assignment.
God said:
“I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills.” — Exodus 31:3
Think about that.
God didn't just give Bezalel a vision.
God gave him the ability to execute the vision.
He gave him wisdom.
He gave him creativity.
He gave him craftsmanship.
He gave him understanding.
He gave him excellence.
Bezalel worked with gold, silver, bronze, precious stones and artistic designs. He used his hands, his mind and his creativity to build something that would serve God's purpose.
That speaks to me deeply.
Because sometimes we think God can only use us when we are behind a pulpit.
No.
God can use your hands.
God can use your mind.
God can use your creativity.
God can use your technology.
God can use your professional skills.
God can use your ideas.
God can use your experience.
God can use your story.
Your talent is not accidental.
Your ability to create, design, organize, build, communicate, solve problems and bring ideas to life can become part of your calling.
And perhaps the season you are calling loneliness is actually a season of preparation.
Perhaps God is separating you from noise so that He can sharpen your vision.
Perhaps the closed doors are teaching you resilience.
Perhaps the waiting is developing your character.
Perhaps the silence is preparing you for an assignment that will require more wisdom, discipline and courage than you currently possess.
Don't waste your lonely season.
Build.
Learn.
Create.
Pray.
Improve yourself.
Develop your skills.
Serve people.
Stay faithful.
Because when the opportunity finally comes, you don't want to be asking, “Am I ready?”
You want to say:
“God prepared me for this.”
Bezalel reminds me that God doesn't only call the gifted; He also gifts the people He calls.
So I am not praying only for an opportunity.
I am praying for the capacity to handle the opportunity when it comes.
I am not asking God only for an open door.
I am asking Him to make me ready to walk through it.
I am not asking only for success.
I am asking for wisdom, excellence, creativity, discipline and the ability to build something meaningful.
My season may be difficult.
My journey may be lonely.
Some people may not understand me.
Some doors may remain closed.
But God is not finished with me.
The story is still being written.
And when my opportunity comes, I want my skills to meet the assignment.
I want my character to match the calling.
I want my hands to be useful.
I want my mind to be creative.
I want my work to have purpose.
I want whatever I build to outlive me and bless somebody else.
God, give me the wisdom of Bezalel.
Give me the creativity of Bezalel.
Give me the excellence of Bezalel.
Give me the discipline of Bezalel.
Give me the skills of Bezalel.
Give me the courage to build when nobody is watching.
And when the time comes, may what I build become evidence that You were with me all along.
God give me the spirit of bezalel.
