“Whatsoever your hands find to do, do it with your might…” — Ecclesiastes 9:10
This timeless scripture isn’t just advice for adults working 9 to 5 jobs or building careers. It holds powerful meaning for children too especially in today’s fast-paced, digital world, where true focus and intentionality are becoming rare.
At Adventures of a Blessed Hand, this verse is more than a tagline, it’s a lifestyle. It’s a call to action, inviting every child to discover the beauty in using their hands purposefully, passionately, and creatively. It means trying, even when things aren’t perfect.
Children today are surrounded by polished results on screens, perfect videos, neat graphics, flawless performances but crafting teaches them that the beauty is in the process. Whether they are threading a needle or placing beads one by one, they learn that doing their best is what truly matters. It’s about taking pride in their effort.
When a child takes time to bead, paint, embroider, or create something from scratch, they’re practicing diligence.
“Doing it with their might” means not rushing through a task just to finish it, but pouring in care, attention, and personal pride regardless of how small the task may seem.
It teaches responsibility and purpose from folding fabrics to cleaning up after a workshop, children begin to understand that their hands are not just for play, they are tools for growth, giving, and responsibility. They learn that their actions matter, and that even simple tasks can carry meaning.
It encourages self-belief.There’s something powerful about a child seeing what their own hands can produce. With every project completed, they begin to believe, “I can do hard things. I can finish what I start.” That mindset, built early, stays with them for life.It invites them to value work, not just results.
Crafting reminds children that the journey matters just as much as the outcome. Every stitch, bead, and brushstroke is a chance to grow in discipline, focus, and joy. That’s what it means to “do it with your might.”
In a generation where fast shortcuts are tempting, we’re raising children who will take the long, meaningful path—creating, learning, and doing all things with their hands and hearts fully involved. So when we say, “Whatsoever your hands find to do, do it with your might,” we’re not just quoting scripture. We’re raising a generation of makers, doers, and thinkers, children who know the power in their hands, and the purpose in their work.
