Tools For Building

“The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens; by his knowledge the deeps broke open, and the clouds drop down the dew” (Proverbs 3:19-20).

When God founded the earth, established the heavens, and broke open the deep, His tools were wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. When God set out to do a great work, He first opened His tool box and pulled out the right tools. If God needed to do that, surely you and I need to as well.

Though we do not create (found) anything as big and wonderful as the earth, we are often tasked to create something. Some have created families while others have created businesses. It takes wisdom to do both.

Though we are not establishing anything as wonderful as the heavens, we are busy establishing something. Some establish ministries while others establish disciplines. It takes understanding to establish both.

Though we are not breaking open the great oceans of the world, we are responsible for breaking open roadblocks at work and obstacles in relationships. It takes knowledge to accomplish both.

If God used tools such as wisdom, understanding, and knowledge to create, establish, and break open great things, we must use them as well. These are tools that every believer is given by God Himself. These tools are in our toolboxes. We must pick up these tools daily in order to accomplish great things in life.

Without wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, we will fail at all attempts to create, establish, and break open. If you are ready to build a great family, business, or relationship, use the tools God has given you. If you are ready to break open roadblocks and obstacles, do so with the tools God has offered you.
