“All the skilled women spun with their hands, and brought what they had spun, in blue and purple and scarlet material and in fine linen. All the women whose heart stirred with a skill spun the goats’ hair.” (Exo. 35:25)

Skilled workers  

God gives each person the skills to do certain things. My wife, Susan, crochets things. She makes hats, scarves, afghans, and various items of clothing, all from balls of yarn. It’s amazing to watch her do it. She also makes quilts from lots of small pieces of cloth that she sews together in all kinds of interesting patterns. It totally amazes me to watch her complete the complicated process of completing all this stuff. She is able to do it because God has given her the skill to do so. I could never do what she does because I have zero interest in or the skills to do what she easily and happily does. And she has no interest in or has the skills for doing a lot of the things I do. And this is a good thing.

God gives various skills and interests so everything needed gets done in the world

“And he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship,” (Exo. 35:31)

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” (James 1:17)

He’s created us for good works

“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (Eph. 2:10)
