Oftentimes, the best ingredient to a work of art is patience. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.” Ecclesiastes 3:11 ESV “He has made everything beautiful in its time. You have unique qualities for a purpose and you should embrace them with confidence.ģ. He loves the things that make you different from everyone else. God could have easily created billions of people who were the same, but that’s not the world He designed or intended. God has intentionally made humans that are each unique and offer something different to the world around them. Even identical twins have different fingerprints and personalities. Just like works of clay, each person is a unique work of art handcrafted by God. If you’ve ever worked with clay, you’ll notice that it’s nearly impossible to create a piece that’s exactly the same as another. He is using His hand to form and shape us into the best version of ourselves. This verse shows us an aspect of what our relationship with God looks like. “But now, O Lord, you are our Father we are the clay, and you are our potter we are all the work of your hand.” Isaiah 64:8 ESV We should look for opportunities to use our talents in the service of others.Ģ. Instead, the Lord calls them to utilize their skill to help and serve others. The artists could’ve used their skills for their benefit and created their own eccentric robes rather than the priests. This scripture also shows us how we should use the artistic gifts that God gives us.
The task of making this was a challenge fit only for these artists who had the wisdom of the Lord. There were engraved stones, cords of fabric, and gold woven in. Other verses in Exodus chapter 28 tell us that Aaron's robes were woven together with the finest linens and different colored yarns. The priestly garments that Aaron wore were nothing short of a work of art. Moses was speaking to skilled craftsmen who were gifted by God to create garments. This verse gives us helpful insight into people’s natural talents and things that they enjoy doing. God explains that He’s the one who gives people a skill and the wisdom to use it properly.
In this passage of scripture, God is giving Moses instructions. “Tell all the skilled workers to whom I have given wisdom in such matters that they are to make garments for Aaron, for his consecration, so he may serve me as priest.” Exodus 28:3 NIV
