USING MY SKILLS FOR GOD’S GLORY

I am a foreman of a construction crew. I really enjoy what I do for a living. I get to work with my hands, and with the help of my crew, create something that is needed. It’s a lot of fun to see a bridge be built, a building rise out of nothing, or a road be fixed.

At church, I do similar work for God. There always seems to be a need for something to be built. Whether it’s a half pipe for the teenagers to skate on, the set of a musical for the children, more risers for the choir, or a large stand for a giant Christmas tree, I find myself very busy with work at the church.

I may not be preaching or even participating in the musical itself, but I know my skills are needed in each area of ministry. I am helping teenagers come to Christ. I am helping children be discipled. And all that is just through my natural abilities of building.

Some people might think I’m a little rough around the edges, and maybe I am. But working with my hands at church brings me a lot of joy. I am so glad that I am able to use my skills for God’s glory.
