Build Something

Go out to your shed or garage, grab some materials and construct something!

If you love building – enjoy. Ask God to work through your hands. Meditate on the fact that Jesus was a carpenter. Some of his followers were fisherman who would have had to work on their boats to keep them in good order. God himself is a creator. See your creativity in building as a reflection of the desire God has to build and create. It is one of the ways in which you are made in God’s image.

If you can’t even hammer two bits of wood together – still have a go at building a rectangle or anything. As you struggle to get it right, consider God the builder and the level of craftsmanship he demonstrates. Also thank God for those who are good with their hands who we are all so dependent on in so many ways.
