Exodus 28:3 So you shall speak to all who are gifted artisans, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments, to consecrate him, that he may minister to Me as priest.
God instructs Moses to have special garments made for Aaron and his sons that they may minister to Almighty God. Notice that any old garment was not good enough. The people needed to understand what it meant to minister to God. It's not a thing to be done lightly, and in verse 2, God describes these garments as holy, for glory and beauty.
He also instructs Moses to commission gifted artists, who God has filled with the spirit of wisdom to make the garments. I wonder if some that God had not anointed volunteered to be among the artists. The job that probably created quite a buzz among the people.
Most of us desire the high profile, "important" jobs that are seen as prestigious. If we have an important job then we must be important, valuable people. We children of God don't have to find our identity in what we do, or how others perceive us, but what our God says about us. The amazing thing is that whether you're unemployed or a CEO of a major corporation, if you're walking in the call of God on your life there is no more fulfilling thing to do.
My identity is in Christ who chose to die for me so that I am able to live for Him. What higher purpose can I serve?
