Proverbs
16:3 (New International Version)
Commit to
the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans.
A group of
tools once came together for a meeting with Mr. Hammer presiding. Brother
Screwdriver said, "Brother Hammer must go, because he is always making
noise, always knocking." Hammer said, "Brother Screwdriver has to go,
because you have to turn him around all the time to get him to do his
job." Someone else said, "Brother Plane has to go, because he always
wants to just touch the surface. He never goes deep." Plane said,
"Brother Sandpaper has to go then, because he is always rubbing people the
wrong way." Sandpaper spoke up, "Then Brother Saw must go, because he
is always cutting things up and leaving sawdust all over the place." Then
the Carpenter from Nazareth came in and said, "I need all of you. We have
a job to do. Put yourselves in my hand. Let me use you." Hammer said,
"Here am I, Lord, use me." Screwdriver said, "Here am I, Lord,
use me." Plane said, "Here am I, Lord, use me." Sandpaper said, "Here
am I, Lord, use me." Saw said, "Here am I, Lord, use me." So
when each gave himself to the Carpenter from Nazareth together they built a great
kingdom.
Are you willing
to say “Here I am, Lord use me”? Take the time today to let the Lord use you.
Dear Lord we
pray that we would be willing to let You use us today. Help us use the special
talent that You have given us to work together with others to build your
Kingdom. IN Jesus’ name, Amen.
