Endowed with the Spirit of Wisdom

[S] Exodus 28:3 --
You shall speak to all the skillful persons whom I have endowed with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister as priest to Me.

[O] All of the intricate designs and details of God's temple was not built up by a few people but a mass was involved and in today's passage addresses the skillful workers God endowed to consecrate the high priest, Aaron. For a while before God expanded my perspective through passages in the Bible like these I segregated my skill sets (i.e., what God gifted me to be good at) from spiritual gifts and did not expect the skill sets can directly impact my spiritual growth.  As God endows with the spirit of wisdom, even the "secular" skills can be used to minister to God.

[A] At each layer of ministry (home, workplace, church, etc.) God desires to endow many people with the spirit of wisdom to worship and build His temple and so I want to surrender my skills to be used for such a purpose.

[P] Dear Father, I realize You desire to bring Your people together to carry out God-sized plans.  May I be filled with Your spirit of wisdom so I won't miss any cues from You to manifest Your wonderful plans in and through my life.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
