day 3K334: The Hex Key

“Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.”

We might better know a Hex Key by the name, “Allen Wrench”.  There really was a William G. Allen who patented in 1909 the idea for a wrench for a safety screw.  And, it seems forever that we have called them “Allen Wrenches”.  That is until IKEA came along and made their Hex Keys so available (be honest how many might you have in a jar someplace?) that the Allen Wrench company called it quits.  Imagine that something you manufactured and got going became so reusable that there wasn’t any need for them anymore?  Hard to imagine, but it can happen.  For the rest of us, we are still trying to find what it is about what we produce or do that will capture the attention of more people than we do today.  We may never create an “Allen Wrench” or its’ equivalent, but we can still strive to unlock our unique place in the market.

God has created billions and billions of us now and still we each are as unique as if He created only one human being. That should encourage us today as we work to stand out among our peers in our work.  He has given us unique talents, skills and experiences that if we seek Him to unlock those for us, His workmanship will marvel others.
