Biblical basis:

Exodus 35:31-33, 35-36:1 and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts-to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of artistic craftsmanship.  He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as craftsmen…and every skilled person to whom the Lord has given skill and ability to know how to carry out the work of constructing the sanctuary, are to do the work just as the Lord commanded.

Hebrews 6:10  God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.
