This is the hour of the expert, the skilled worker, or as they say a craftsmen. God has anointed people across the world with something unique that only that individual can accomplish. Some are good with there hand, some are great thinkers, some can pound the pavement with their feet. Whatever your gift, God has need of you. 2 Chronicles 2 10-14 talks about Gods desire to see the Temple rebuild in that generation, but they need someone that was an anointed crafts men of that time to get the job done. God had a specific design that only skilled people could build. So the man asked the king, who do we have that can lead them to build it to perfection. The king already had the right one for the job and he was already on the way. 10 “The house I am building has to be the best, for our God is the best, far better than competing gods. But who is capable of building such a structure? Why, the skies—the entire cosmos!—can’t begin to contain him. And me, who am I to think I can build a house adequate for God—burning incense to him is about all I’m good for! I need your help: Send me a master artisan in gold, silver, bronze, iron, textiles of purple, crimson, and violet, and who knows the craft of engraving; he will supervise the trained craftsmen in Judah and Jerusalem that my father provided. Also send cedar, cypress, and algum logs from Lebanon; I know you have lumberjacks experienced in the Lebanon forests. I’ll send workers to join your crews to cut plenty of timber—I’m going to need a lot, for this house I’m building is going to be absolutely stunning—a showcase temple! I’ll provide all the food necessary for your crew of lumberjacks and loggers: 130,000 bushels of wheat, 120,000 gallons of wine, and 120,000 gallons of olive oil.” 11 Hiram king of Tyre wrote Solomon in reply: “It’s plain that God loves his people—he made you king over them!” 12-14 He wrote on, “Blessed be the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, and who gave King David a son so wise, so knowledgeable and shrewd, to build a temple for God and a palace for himself. I’ve sent you Huram-Abi—he’s already on his way—he knows the construction business inside and out. His mother is from Dan and his father from Tyre. He knows how to work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and wood, in purple, violet, linen, and crimson textiles; he is also an expert engraver and competent to work out designs with your artists and architects, and those of my master David, your father. Today I want you to know that King of glory is still in charge and is aware of the state of the world. God has an answer for every problem and it might be you. Everyone is an expert in some area and God is getting ready to send you to handle the problem. Get ready today just might be your day.
