Oh, how it helps and comforts us in the plodding of life to know that we
have with us the Christ who spent the first thirty years of His life
swinging a hammer in the carpenter shop at Nazareth, covered with sweat
and grimy dust, physically weary as we often are, and able to understand
all our experiences of drudgery and labor! Moreover, He still loves to
share our common tasks and equip us for our difficult undertakings of
hand and brain. Yes, housewife, He will help you at the kitchen range
and sink as gladly as at the hour of prayer.

Yes, busy laborer, He will go with you and help you to swing the hammer,
or handle the saw, or hold the plow in the soil of life.

You will be a better mechanic, a more skilled workman, a more successful
man because you take His wisdom for the common affairs of life. There is
no place or time where Jesus is not able and willing to walk by our
side, to work through our hand and minds, and to unite Himself in loving
and caring partnership with all our needs and tasks and trials. In this
way He proves Himself our all-sufficiency for all things.
