Some of us know how to do things even though we've never been taught. I'm one of those people. I can craft, sew, paint, decorate, and so on. I know how to follow directions; I'll take a class if I need help and want to improve. God gave Moses the names of two people who were in charge of creating everything for the Tabernacle. I found it interesting that he said he filled one of them with his spirit. 

See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, Exodus 31:2-3

Isn't that interesting? The same spirit that resides in us was given to Bezaleel to complete God's Tabernacle, which was much more of a task than I could ever handle. However, if you hand my husband a set of plans, he can create a building to perfection. Bezaleel and his partner Aholiab had to follow Moses's instructions and hear the voice of God to make them to his specifications. We can see by this that the Holy Spirit can not only help us hold onto our belief in Jesus but can also be used to complete physical tasks for God's kingdom. Never think too highly of yourself when you are doing anything for God. Every ability you have was given to you by him, and you couldn't finish his work without the help of the Holy Spirit. Remember to be thankful for your abilities.
