TOPIC: GOD’S MASTER PIECE
Bible Reading: Exodus 34-36; Matthew 23:1-22
“And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;” – Exodus 35:31 (KJV)
Creation is proof enough that God is a master artist, and His Spirit is in us. Strangely the first mention of the Spirit of God filling a person in scripture was in the days of Moses. The result of God’s Spirit filling a person is wisdom which reveals God’s creativity through whatever that person does.
Wisdom is more than being witty; the wisdom of God is more of a personality that men and women can possess. The Spirit of wisdom was a core part of God’s faculty as He created the universe. It is not a surprise that creation is such a beauty to behold.
Rather than relegating excellence and the beauty of craftsmanship to the world and the unsaved, God expects the world to see His creativity revealed through His children as we walk in the Spirit of wisdom. Wisdom and creativity are related subjects in the Bible, and they shouldn’t be separated because craftsmanship (i.e., creativity) is a manifestation of the wisdom of God through the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
When God asked for a tent of worship to be built in the wilderness, He didn’t just want His house built; He wanted it done with excellence and style. This is the reason He told Moses that He called Bezalel and filled him with the Spirit so that he could, “… devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass.” Exodus 35:32 (KJV).
Reject the mediocre mindset and allow the Spirit of God unleash the creativity of God’s wisdom through you because according to 1 Corinthians 1:30 (KJV), “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.” The Spirit of God in you, makes you God’s Master piece.
Prayer: Thank You Father for the gift of the Holy Ghost in me and filling me with your wisdom.
