Proverbs - Put Your Hands on that Machine





Proverbs 31:19

She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
Put Your Hands on that Machine


Here we have a gal who uses her hands to operate a machine that will provide clothing for her family.  We often have to put our hands to the steering wheel and drive our children to get the things they need.  Do we complain?  Shouldn’t we rather do this with a heart of wanting our children to sense God’s provisioning through us?  We also put our hands into the laundry and put it in the machine so that our family has fresh clean clothes.  Oh the Lord is good to give us such tools to clothe our children and provide them with coverings that smell so good, look fresh and help them present themselves in the best light in the midst of their peers.  Our hands are yielded to the Lord to be the one who gives our families that sense of covering and care.  Let us lay our hands upon those tools He gives with this kind of heart and love. Chores can become quite fulfilling this way.
