“I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship.” Exodus 31:3
The very first person the Bible says was filled with the Spirit of God wasn’t Adam. It wasn’t Abraham. It wasn’t Noah, Not even Moses.
It was Bezaleel!! a skilled artisan.
His name means “in the shadow or protection of God.”
He was from the tribe of Judah, appointed and chosen by God to design the tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant, and more.
But why did God fill him with His Spirit?
Because what Bezalel was assigned to create, wasn’t just a structure.
It was a replica of the heavenly tabernacle. A reflection of heaven on earth.
And to build something so holy…
skill alone wasn’t enough.
He needed the Holy Spirit.
The same Spirit who hovered over the waters in creation.
The Holy Spirit who breathes life into God’s plans.
The Holy Spirit who makes the invisible visible.
The Holy Spirit who brings God’s vision to life.
Bezalel couldn’t fulfill his assignment with skill alone. He needed the Holy Spirit.
And neither can we.
Now we understand:
Just like Bezalel, to replicate heaven,
Jesus sent His Spirit on us.
To represent Him rightly,
To show us how to live as citizens of heaven,
To accomplish what God has assigned and appointed us to do,
And to live a life that is well-pleasing to God.
We must be filled with the Holy Spirit!!!
