The Bezalel example is such a powerfull reframe for vocational purpose. That passage about being filled with the Spirit "to devise artistic designs" and work in crafts demolishes the hierachy where only pulpit-facing roles count as real calling. What I apreciate is how this shifts calling from prestige-seeking to skill-based stewardship. I struggled with this for years thinking my work was too mundane to matter spiritualy, until I realized the kingdom genuinely needs electricians as much as evangelists. The Genesis 1:26 framing about stewarding creation is key becuase it grounds purpose in practical contribution rather than spiritual performance. Dunno if everyone will find their specific calling revelation as clear as Bezalel's but the principle that all work done heartily serves the Lord is liberating.
