You have everything you need

When God gives you a task, He is responsible for providing for it.
He gave Moses instructions on how to build the tabernacle of the congregation and how everything was going to be put in a particular place and order. He gave specific instructions (Exodus 30). Trust me, our God is not a vague God. He specifies what He wants you to do, but it's revealed during communion and fellowship with Him.
He didn't leave any room for Moses to take  certain Initiatives on his own.
The more initiatives you take with an assignment that God gives you, the more prone the assignment is to human error. He is the only one who gives an assignment and supplies all the answers.

He gave specifics about what the ark of testimony, tables and vessels, candlesticks, curtains and veils, altars of incense and burnt offerings, and laver and foots should look like, down to their measurement, everything was specified. I thought it would be up to Moses to go and conduct a talent hunt among the children of Israel to find the best goldsmith, best welder, best carpenter etc, but God had other plans. He had already chosen who He was going to use and had called them by name...Bezaleel and Aholiab. Exodus 31:2-6
He not only called them out, He had equipped them with His Spirit,with wisdom,understanding, knowledge and workmanship, basically everything they would need for the task ahead.

Has God given you a task? He will provide the people you need to make it happen as well as the materials needed.
There's nothing as unfortunate as having a divine mandate but bringing the wrong people on board, people who are not equipped for the work, who lack wisdom, understanding and knowledge, people who you need to continually convince about what God has asked you to do. 

Let God choose the people for you. He is the one who gave you the task in the first place. It is time to operate in divine grace. It is not about your ability, but God's capability.
What has the Lord mandated you to do? He has not left you all by yourself to go figure it out. You must go back to Him for direction every step of the way.
My prayer is that we can stay connected to the vine and that we can trust Him to provide. 
Let this be your goal in every divine assignment, that you stay connected to the vine.
It is well with you.
