The Bible highlights the importance of skill in various domains, including craftsmanship, leadership, and spiritual discernment.<br><br><b>Craftsmanship and Artistry</b><br><br>The Bible frequently mentions skilled artisans, particularly in the context of constructing the Tabernacle and the Temple. In <a href="/exodus/31.htm">Exodus 31:1-5</a> , God specifically calls Bezalel, filling 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." This passage underscores the divine origin of skill and the importance of using one's talents for God's glory.<br><br>Similarly, in <a href="/1_kings/7-14.htm">1 Kings 7:14</a>, Hiram of Tyre is described as "a man of great skill, experienced in all kinds of bronze work." His expertise was instrumental in the construction of Solomon's Temple, demonstrating that skilled labor is integral to fulfilling God's plans.<br><br><b>Leadership and Governance</b><br><br>Skill is also essential in leadership and governance. In <a href="/1_chronicles/12-32.htm">1 Chronicles 12:32</a>, the men of Issachar are noted for their understanding of the times and knowing what Israel should do, indicating that skill in discernment and decision-making is crucial for effective leadership. <a href="/proverbs/22-29.htm">Proverbs 22:29</a> states, "Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men." This proverb highlights the value of skill in gaining influence and recognition.<br><br><b>Spiritual Discernment</b><br><br>In the spiritual realm, skill is often linked with wisdom and discernment. Daniel, for example, is described as having "an extraordinary spirit, knowledge, and insight, and the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve difficult problems" (<a href="/daniel/5-12.htm">Daniel 5:12</a>). His skills were not only intellectual but also spiritual, enabling him to serve in a foreign court and influence the course of history.<br><br><b>Moral and Ethical Implications</b><br><br>The Bible also addresses the moral and ethical implications of skill. In <a href="/ecclesiastes/10-10.htm">Ecclesiastes 10:10</a> , it is written, "If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed, but skill will bring success." This suggests that skill, when applied wisely, can lead to success and efficiency. However, skill must be coupled with integrity and righteousness, as seen in the warnings against using skill for deceitful purposes (<a href="/proverbs/11.htm">Proverbs 11:1</a>).<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>Throughout Scripture, skill is portrayed as a gift from God, to be used for His purposes and glory. Whether in craftsmanship, leadership, or spiritual matters, the Bible emphasizes the importance of honing one's skills and using them in service to God and others.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>a.</I>) Having familiar knowledge united with readiness and dexterity in its application; familiarly acquainted with; expert; skillful; -- often followed by in; as, a person skilled in drawing or geometry.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/3451.htm"><span class="l">3451. mousikos -- <b>skilled</b> in the arts (esp. music)</span></a> <br><b>...</b> mousikos. 3452 . <b>skilled</b> in the arts (esp. <b>...</b> Word Origin from Mousa (a Muse) Definition<br> <b>skilled</b> in the arts (esp. music) NASB Word Usage musicians (1). musician. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/3451.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p><a href="/greek/4680.htm"><span class="l">4680. sophos -- <b>skilled</b>, wise</span></a> <br><b>...</b> <b>skilled</b>, wise.
