Question: Why did the Lord choose Bezalel?

Answer: Praise the Lord today is June 12, I want to meditate on Exo 31:1,2b“Then the Lord said to Moses, See, I have chosen Bezalel “

In the wilderness, the Lord gave instructions to build the Tabernacle, where the Lord will commune with people. It had different sections, every minute detail, material, cover and articles was designed by God.

The Lord said to Moses, “I have chosen Bezalel, the son of Uri and grandson of Hur, from the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with my power. I have given him understanding, skill, and ability for every kind of artistic work

But who could build according to the Almighty God’s design, who will have that level of skill to implement? Lord found one man, Bezalel, Lord told Moses “I have chosen Bezalel and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills to make the design of God” (Exo 31:2). Bezalel came forward built the tabernacle and the Lord met His people from there.

Lessons we can learn, God needs people to implement His plans, can we be that person? Let it be our prayer, make me the Bezalel of this time. We might have excuses that we are not capable, the verse above says all that is needed to build was given to Bezalel (understanding, knowledge, skill) was given by God. Then what is the criteria for being chosen, I believe it is total surrender, trust, dedication, and humility that make a person choosable.

In our day to day life, we need the wisdom to complete our work in Godly fashion. Our Lord can fill us with skill and knowledge from heavåen. Let us ask for heavenly understanding. Can the Lord use us to fulfill His design in our lives, our family, our community, and our nation? How wonderful it is when we live and operate in the Spirit of God.

Let this be our prayer, Father Lord, I need the wisdom from your throne room, I want to live every day to fulfill your plans, and work and conduct myself in wisdom from God.
