Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers to make everything I have commanded you: the tent of meeting, the ark of the covenant law with the atonement cover on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent—the table and its articles, the pure gold lampstand and all its accessories, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, the basin with its stand—and also the woven garments, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests, and the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded you.” Exodus 31:6b-11, NIV
As you read through Exodus (and the other “books of Moses”), you find a great many details as to the laws the people were to observe, details concerning sacrifices, the setting up of the altar, the setting up of the tabernacle, etc. In fact, there are so many detailed instructions, it completely boggles the mind. I always find myself wondering, “How could they possibly keep up with all this?”
The answer to the question is that God is in the details. When God said to Moses in Exodus 31:6b, “I have given ability to all the skilled workers to make everything I have commanded you”, He was telling Moses, “don’t worry, I’ve got your back; I’ve got this covered.”
When God directs us to do something, He quips us for the work. Stir clear of the dangerous trap of self-reliance and claim Ephesians 3:20-21, NIV, for your own: “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”
God Bless!
