It is associated with the ability to perform tasks with excellence and precision, often as a result of God-given talent or divine inspiration. Skillfulness is highly valued in Scripture, as it reflects the order and creativity of God Himself. Old Testament References: In the Old Testament, skillfulness is frequently mentioned in the context of craftsmanship and artistry. One of the most notable examples is found in the construction of the Tabernacle. God specifically chose Bezalel and Oholiab, filling them with His Spirit to be skillful in all kinds of craftsmanship: · "See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, understanding, and ability in all kinds of craftsmanship, to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze, to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every craft." (<a href="/exodus/31-2.htm">Exodus 31:2-5</a>) Skillfulness is also associated with wisdom and understanding, as seen in the life of King Solomon. Solomon's wisdom was a divine gift that enabled him to rule skillfully: · "God gave Solomon wisdom, very great insight, and breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore." (<a href="/1_kings/4-29.htm">1 Kings 4:29</a>) New Testament References: In the New Testament, skillfulness is often linked to spiritual gifts and the edification of the church. The Apostle Paul speaks of the various gifts given by the Holy Spirit, which include skills for teaching, administration, and other forms of service: · "We have different gifts according to the grace given us. If one's gift is prophecy, let him use it in proportion to his faith; if it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is giving, let him give generously; if it is leading, let him lead with diligence; if it is showing mercy, let him do so cheerfully." (<a href="/romans/12-6.htm">Romans 12:6-8</a>) Theological Implications: Skillfulness is seen as a reflection of God's own nature, as He is the ultimate Creator and Designer. Human skill is a gift from God, meant to be used for His glory and the benefit of others. The Bible encourages believers to develop their skills and use them in service to God and His kingdom. Practical Application: Believers are encouraged to cultivate their skills and talents, recognizing them as gifts from God. Whether in craftsmanship, leadership, teaching, or any other area, skillfulness should be pursued with diligence and humility. The parable of the talents (<a href="/matthew/25-14.htm">Matthew 25:14-30</a>) serves as a reminder of the responsibility to use one's skills wisely and productively. Conclusion: While the Bible does not provide an exhaustive list of skills, it emphasizes the importance of using one's abilities for the glory of God and the good of others. Skillfulness, when aligned with God's purposes, becomes a powerful tool for advancing His kingdom on earth.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
