’And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge and in all manner of workmanship” (Exodus 31 vs 3 NKJV).
God always fills us with the gifts we need to carry out any of His given assignment. Being His employee or selected candidate can be likened to the process of a job/project vacancy, where out of the hundreds/thousands of people, selection is narrowed down to one person.
God’s ‘selection process’ can also be either Public and Vocal (where He openly announces us and sets us apart for the world to see e.g Bezalel) or Silent and Hidden (unfolding quietly through hidden preparation e.g David). Either way, resilience and tenacity are silently built in us during these processes which eventually helps us in the task ahead.
To be selected by God out of millions of people is the greatest form of honor ‘Man‘ can have. It gives us the perspective of seeing our talents/gifts as loaned assets and not personal property. Hence, creating a desire to please the Employer/Giver by overriding any form of temptation to cut corners, not wanting to disappoint the Employer and acknowledging that selection is not by human efforts but by divine favour.
Thirdly, to be God’s elect is to remain thankful and focused on Him always. In so doing, more gifts in form of wisdom, understanding and knowledge on the job are deposited in us.
Additionally, resilience built during ‘the selection process’,also becomes the strengthening factor that nudges us to push forward on the assignment ahead of us.
Furthermore, in God’s “corporate organization“, mistakes are allowed provided it’s not intentional and it’s truly genuine. His grace (Eph 1 vs 7) if we seek for it through Jesus is there to speak for us. However, even when we intentionally make mistakes, we can still reroute our path back to the original assignment.
Finally, entanglement in work space politics will shift us from the big picture, hence distracting us from total reliance on God’s wisdom, knowledge and understanding which far out runs any human wisdom and work space politics. Therefore, sitting and meditating through on the wisdom of God until we birth inspiration and strategies (in form of intelligence and solutions on how to resolve problems on tasks) is the believers arsenal to all workspace politics and human wisdom.
