Ecclesiastes 9:10

My View From “The Chair” this morning - Ecclesiastes 9:10 - Use Your Hands!

This morning I sat looking at my hands.  All that I have in them is my love for words, music, storytelling and art. These seem like such ordinary, everyday things to me.  As I read and reread this verse, the Lord continued to say, “Yes, those things!  I want to use those things to bring my heart to the tired, broken, and hurting people.”  It seems to easy.  Then it strikes me,  I think I have made it more difficult than it truly is.  Anyone else with me?  Today, right now, I want to encourage you to make a list of what is in your hands and then lay it at His feet and tell Him you are surrendering them for His purposes.  Will you join with me in asking Him to daily show you what He wants you to do with these ordinary things?  If you are wondering if this is a verse for you, it is.  If you are wondering  when you should start, the time is NOW.  If you are wondering how to use them, just ask Him and look around.  He has plans to use what is in your hands!  I’m looking forward to hearing (or seeing if you want to post pictures) what is in your hands and how He is going to use it.  Until We Chat Again, The Plank-Eyed Girl
