God and Your Creativity, part 3

Daniel McCoy wrote,

#3 – God gives people creative abilities.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills—to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts. Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers to make everything I have commanded you.” (Exodus 31:1-6)

Jesus compared God’s Spirit to the wind—powerful, unpredictable, and blowing where it pleases (John 3:8). In this passage from Exodus, God’s Spirit gave wisdom, understanding, and skillfulness to a craftsman named Bezalel. In his case, the skillfulness was creative artistry. He was gifted with the ability to bring together multiple materials and colors to create beautiful art for the synagogue.
