Work with your hands.

1 Thessalonians 4:9-12, Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another, for that indeed is what you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to do this more and more, and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.

Paul set the example for this by his occupation of tent making even as he was an evangelist. The Lord has us each in a unique position to be used for his purposes. Are we asking him to use us right where we are each day?

Use me for your purposes where I am each day, O Lord!
