Then the Lord said to Moses, "Look, I have specifically chosen Bezalel...
I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts...
He is a master at every craft! Exodus 31:1-5

The first time the Bible mentions "filling" people with the Spirit, it's to do deeds of a creative nature. Not for fighting wars, preaching sermons, or even performing miracles.
Is that so strange?
In the first ever mention of God's Spirit, He is hovering over an empty void, just waiting to create. Then suddenly, there was light - dirt - seeds - plants - animals - then us...created in His image. For what?
I'm sure a hundred people will give you a thousand answers for that one. But this I know for sure, we are called to create. To turn nothing into something. To speak life into empty situations. To use that slimy thing inside your skull to think of better ways to live. And to use those itchy fingers of yours to do something about it.
Mr. Bezaleel was a normal guy filled with an extraordinary Spirit, so he could accomplish amazing things. Are we any different?
When God wanted to build a tabernacle to show his people a glimpse of what heaven looks like, he choose a craftsman. Not a warrior. Not even a priest. But rather a Hebrew version of Bob the Builder.
As God continues to build his Church in these modern times, His Holy Spirit still wants to fill his people to show the world what heaven looks like.
Do you feel like you were absent on the day that gifts were given? Think again.
Maybe all you need is a bit of stirring. The same Spirit that hung the stars in the sky is hovering inside your heart. If you also believe that this very same Spirit raised a dead rabbi into a resurrected KIng of all kings, then what's stopping you?
Find a blank page and fill it. Take a broken thing and fix it. Find an empty heart and heal it.
Your made in His image, right?
