Day 15: The Spirit and Teaching

Today's short devotion builds on yesterday's: The Spirit uses the "perspiration" that we use to learn a skill or gain some area of competency. He notes that in the case of Bezalel and Oholiab the Spirit not only used their skills, but directed them to teach others. Some words that come to mind in this regard are "mentor," "apprentice," "disciple." The Spirit didn't direct them to do everything, but to teach others their skills.  A passage that comes to mind from the New Testament related to this is II Timothy 2:2: "You then, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus; and what you have heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will be able to teach others as well."
