Skillfully

‎"You shall speak to the skillful, whom I have filled with a spirit of skill..." (Ex 28:3)

I love it how we can't produce skills in us apart from God filling us with them. It's so easy to take credit and glory because of the experience, training, money, talent, or education we might have had. I've struggled with this a lot actually thinking that the years of hard work, training, schooling, and practicing with music was the reason for the level of ability I have attained. But it is so not the truth at all! I wouldn't have even had the skills to do the work if God hadn't given them to me in the first place. So whatever skills we do have, we have done nothing to deserve them or attain them...only through God's grace. He deserves all the glory for all we do!
