Exodus 36:2
“Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it:”
What does Exodus 36:2 mean?
Moses gathered together the most skilled craftspeople for the enormous task of building the Tabernacle, not by force or appointment alone, but by calling those whom God had gifted and who felt genuinely called to the work. What's striking here is that wisdom isn't presented as something people simply possessed on their own, but as something God had placed within them. This passage honors both the divine gifting and the human willingness, showing that the best work happens when God's blessing meets a willing heart. For those in difficult seasons, there's comfort in recognizing that meaningful work often comes from this combination of ability and desire working together. You don't have to be perfect or completely confident to offer what God has given you, just willing to show up when the stirring inside you says it's time.
