Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.Ecclesiastes 9:10 (ESV)
My son and I came across a rock-climbing shop offering a free trial. We gladly took the opportunity. I was initially dubious about the idea of a 4.5-year-old kid trying to climb up a 6m high wall. However, he obviously enjoyed the process and reached the top smoothly with a big smile and satisfaction. He reminded me that God has given each of us unique strengths and gifts, and nothing is better than living our lives with full use of these gifts. Just as the spiders utilise their skills and devote themselves entirely to building their web, we are to exercise our spiritual gifts to devote ourselves to building the body of Christ.
Father God, we are eternally grateful for the generous and unique strengths and gifts You have blessed each one of us with. Guide us to let them shine through our lives as You graciously intended. Open our eyes to see how we can be a blessing to others. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
