(v. 3-5) 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship, 4 to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, 5 in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in every craft.
(v. 3-5) 3 pea kuo u taumalingi kiate ia ‘a e laumālie ‘o e ‘Otua, ke fakapoto mo faka‘atamai‘i, mo fakalotomatala, mo fakaalafua, 4 ke ne fakakaukau‘i hano anga ‘o e ngaahi me‘a, pea ke tufunga koula mo siliva mo e kapa, 5 pea ke tongi maka fonofono, pea ke tongi ‘akau, ke fai ‘a e ngāue kotoa pē ‘oku faingata‘a.
*Commentary: The ESV Study Bible*
Bezalel is described as being filled ... with the Spirit of God, which means here that he has been equipped to fulfill the particular task to which he was called: with ability and intelligence ... to devise ... to work (w. 36-4). The expression "filled with the Spirit" appears in 28:3; 35:31; Deut: 34:9; Mic. 3:8, each time with the idea of God fitting the person for a task that serves the well-being of God's people; this is the likely background for the NT expression; e.g., Luke 1:15, 41; Acts 2:4; Eph. 5:18.

1 Corinthians 12:4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
ReplyDeleteEphesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
1 Peter 4:10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
Thank you Father for selecting, calling and equipping us through your grace. Holy Spirit, fill our hearts and help us to use those gifts in accordance your will, in Jesus' name. Amen
Glory to God in the highest for he equipped us individually with different talents so that we could collectively glorify his name.
ReplyDeleteIt's important to remember that every adversity we face in life, ever struggles and pain we experience is made to be overcome. Not only does he equipped us with different talents, he also equipped us with the means and capacity to overcome those pitfalls.
He wants us to not rely on our own understanding but to trust and have faith in him so that we could understand that he has filled us with his spirit and with him by our side there is nothing we can't overcome.
