Exodus 31

Consider the intricacy of everything that in the tabernacle. Everything has a measurement. Everything has a certain shape. Imagine the responsibility of being the person who will make everything the Lord has been talking about up until this point. This was the job of Bezaleel.

"Behold, I, 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 workmanship," (Exodus 31:2-3).

Both Bezaleel and Aholiab had the great responsibility of making everything in the temple. They were filled with the Spirit of God to perform such a feat. What amazes me is how these two bore such a great responsibility and are generally unknown. We never hear about them later on, helping out in the decision making. We do not here about them leading the people or performing any priestly duties. These two had one simple job, build the tabernacle. For this they were filled with the Holy Spirit and the Wisdom of God.

This makes me think of people who go unseen at any church. These people are the type of people who are filled with the Holy Spirit. They are following God with all of their heart that they might perform the one duty God has appointed for them and that they might perform it well. Of course, Bezaleel and Aholiab's responsibility was not small, yet what is in the kingdom of heaven? I think of the widow who gave the two mites in Luke 21. How do we acknowledge if we are doing something great or not?

Be like Bezaleel and Aholiab. If you are called to wash dishes this week, be filled with the Spirit and wash dishes. If you are called to take care of siblings, then do this with all your heart. I realize you may not be noticed for it, but this is true service unto the Lord. When you think about it, Bezaleel and Aholiab had one of the greatest responsibilities in history, yet we hardly acknowledge them. Maybe you do too, you just do not know it.
