Exodus 31:6 (NASBStr)
And behold, I Myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are skillful I have put skill, that they may make all that I have commanded you:
When God ask us to accomplish something for Him, He provides the equipment, the skill sets and the talent. This can be seen by what is described in 31:1-3 about Bezalel. Bezaiel was chosen by God to build the alter, the furnishings, the tent of the tabernacle and all the assorted pieces described in the previous chapters. But, even though God describes Bezaiel as fully equipped to build these things, God gave him help. Oholiab is just one of example of the many people God would send Bezaiel to help build. The end of verse six, above, states that God put into the hearts of "all who are skillful" the skill to make what He commanded them. We can beat if we have skill it is because God has given us the skill. We can be assured that if God calls us to build something He will not leave us alone. He will provide those we need to accomplish the task. Moses was afraid to go into Egypt alone. He used his speaking inadequacies as an excuse. God gave him Aaron. God gave Saul, Samuel. God gave Jeremiah, Ebed- melech to get him out of the pit. God always provides the help we need, in some way or fashion. God says he appointed Oholiabl, "with him" in the above verse. We all need a "with him" to help us succeed. In the Christian walk that "with him" figure is the Holy Spirit who allows us to walk "with him." Sometimes that "with him" is our spouse. God provides a "with him" in all that we do for Him, or are required to do for Him. Let's rejoice that we have a "with him" in our lives that God provides.
