I recently took on a project to build a table for my kitchen. It wasn’t something I tackled because I had experience with woodworking. It wasn’t even something I wanted to do at the time because I thought it would be fun. It was really a project I took on out of necessity more than anything. I needed a table for my kitchen. I also needed it to be quite large. As it turns out, it’s about 7 feet long. For the dimensions I was looking for, it was difficult to locate a table of that size. And if I did find something of similar size, it was often more than I wanted to spend. So, presented with that dilemma, I thought, “I’ll just build it myself.
Building something from scratch is a learning experience, to be sure. There really are no outlines, no step by step instruction…it’s just, “Here are the raw materials. Have at it.” In the process of building this table I did learn there are certain things that require some forethought. It’s especially true if you haven’t done this before. You need to decide ahead of time what dimensions you want the table: Height, width, length. Once that’s decided, you need to figure out how it’s all going to fit together. And to some degree, I did have the broad concept figured out in my head. I knew roughly how I was going to go about fitting things together—how to attach the legs to the base, the base to the table top, etc. But inevitably, as it goes on any foray into new territory, you run into something you hadn’t anticipated.
As I was going about the process of putting the table top together, I realized that I didn’t really quite know how to make it work. I spent several minutes contemplating the best way to go about it and still came up blank. Faced with this roadblock, I finally realized the best person to ask. So, I just said within myself, “Jesus, you were a carpenter. How would you go about this?” It was only a few minutes later that the answer suddenly came to me. And it was like an ‘Ah ha’ moment. It was all so clear now. I now knew how to proceed with the project, which helped bring me to the final point of a finished product.

What this experience showed me was…a few things, really. My own human knowledge is very limited. I only know so much. In fact, I am often reluctant to admit how little I know. The other thing it showed me is how reluctant I am to ask for help. I suppose for most of us that comes down to pride. It can also be due to the fact that we just become so accustomed to doing things on our own. Knowing these two things, it makes me realize how much we are trying to direct our own lives most of the time. We are trying to take the driver’s seat when we are often the worst drivers. There’s a much better driver available. God is available and waiting to direct our lives. He’s ready and waiting to give us advice if we’ll just ask Him. And His advice isn’t just limited to carpentry.
