Exo 36:1 Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had commanded.
Exo 36:2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:
The work was to build the sanctuary that Moses had been given the design from the LORD. The building of all that would make the sanctuary where the presence of God would dwell with man was to be built according to the Master's design. Wise hearted men were called, men of wisdom and understanding from the LORD. Those who God by His Spirit had gifted with wisdom, knowledge and skills. These were known gifted men to do the service of building the sanctuary, but there were others too. Included with the wise and skilled were those who the LORD stirred their hearts to come unto the work to do it.
If you are a member of a local church you probably have heard of work days. A time to do work around the church building, perhaps trimming plants or painting or maintenance. All are welcome to come, all that the LORD has stirred up to help. There are spiritual needs of the church as well. It is a place of worship, so gifted skilled musicians are needed with a heart given to worship.. The pastor should be chosen of God, filled with the word of God in all wisdom and knowledge. Leaders in the church are anointed by God for service. Those who are not sure where to serve, but who are stirred up for service, these should make themselves available. If the Lord has called you, then he will equip you to fulfill the need.
A final thought. Often we see things that are needed in the church, but instead of meeting the need, we complain that something needs to be done. Do not complain. If the Lord shows you something and he has stirred you up, then make yourself available. Sometimes the service is outside of the church: rest home ministry, visiting the sick, prayer and many things that are important to the Lord. Are you being stirred up for service?
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
