There's this little verse in Exodus 27: 3 "You shall speak to all the skillful, whom I have filled with the spirit of skill, that they make Aaron's garments to consecrate him for my priesthood."
In Old Covenant days God filled individuals with the Holy Spirit at specific times for specific things. Since Jesus returned to the Father, the Holy Spirit is now poured out on everyone who relies on the name of Jesus and has a relationship with Him.
God gives gifts to us to further His kingdom. God will "anoint" your skills to make them useful for Him.
Maybe this is splitting hairs a little, but God could have just put it on the hearts of those He filled to step forward. Instead he encouraged Moses to make an announcement and left it up to the individual to respond.
Today in the body of Christ there are ample opportunities to use those skills God has given you to further His kingdom. If you are part of a local body you have likely heard numerous calls for help. If it is in an area where God has "skilled" you, why not answer the call, step up and become part of something wonderful.
It doesn't have to be something spectacular or flashy. None of the embroiders got to sew their initials into Aaron's garments. The signature was God. He can sign your work too.

When we added 5,000 sq. ft. to our existing facility, most of the men had never had any construction experience. We had one man who had 30 years of experience with residential and commercial building experience. As he supervised us, it was exciting to see God "anoint" us as we worked. As a result a $500,000 addition was built for $185,000. Praise God...
That is amazing and wonderful to hear how God still moves on people to help proclaim the gospel!
