Deft

Deft adj.

1. dexterous; nimble; skillful; clever

David was a shepherd, a musician, a warrior and a king. Joseph and Jesus were carpenters. Peter was a fisherman. Matthew was a tax collector. Nehemiah was a cupbearer. They all had jobs. However, their jobs didn't define them. Their jobs were only a conduit to their destiny. What's your skill? Do you have deft hands? Are you good with numbers? Can you remember things? Are you a good writer? Do you have the voice of an angel or beautiful mind? What is that thing about you that makes you different? What is your God-given strength? What makes you deft? 

“You'll get mixed up, of course, as you already know. You'll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go. So be sure when you step. Step with care and great tact and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left.” – From "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" by Dr. Seuss

Workmanship

I've always enjoyed hearing creation stories from all around the world. Some are a bit far fetched, but amusing nonetheless. I've always imagined God as a Master Craftsman. The human body is a marvel. The brain, the blood vessels, the heart, the lymph nodes all working together to ensure we function properly. I stand in awe of the clouds and the stars and the planets. Our sun and our moon co-exist in our sky. Creation is God's workmanship. It is meticulous and beautiful. It is specific in its design and function. It is engineered in excellence and has lasted several millennia despite our efforts to destroy it. It is nothing short of amazing. We are a spectacle. We are a wonder because we are God's workmanship.
