The Value of a Tradesman

Monday Inspiration for Electricians: The Value of a Tradesman

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." – Colossians 3:23

In biblical times, skilled tradesmen were vital to society—carpenters like Jesus, tentmakers like Paul, and builders who erected temples and homes. These men worked with their hands, pouring skill, dedication, and pride into their crafts. Their work wasn't just about making a living; it was about glorifying God through excellence, creativity, and purpose.

As electricians, you are modern-day craftsmen. You shape environments by bringing light where there was darkness, power where there was none, and safety where there was risk. Each wire you run, connection you secure, and system you design is part of a bigger picture—a legacy of skilled hands doing God’s work.

Take pride in your trade. Like the artisans of old, your work is essential, valued, and meaningful. Approach each task as a reflection of the gifts God has given you. Whether it's installing a simple outlet or designing an intricate electrical system, your craftsmanship has the power to improve lives and inspire others.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the hands that You have equipped to create, build, and serve. May every task we undertake as tradesmen reflect Your glory and excellence. Teach us to see our work as a calling, knowing that our efforts are never in vain when done for You. Amen.

This week, remember: Your hands were made to create, your mind to solve, and your heart to serve. Go out and make a difference, one connection at a time!
