Do you have the right tools?

While getting ready to plant a garden this year, I noticed that someone had borrowed my shovel. I looked around and found my grandchildren’s shovel and thought to myself that I could use it. It wasn’t more than two minutes later that I realized that it would take so much longer and not be done right using the wrong tool.

How many Christians today do not get the tools they need to be effective workers for God? Are you one?

When we present to the world that reaching the lost is not important enough for us to be prepared to reach them then they will think it is not important enough for them to become a Christian. The Bible states that we are saved to go out and win the lost for Christ.

Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labouts.

John 4:34-38 KJV

Precious Son of God, You came to earth and gave us the tools we need, help us today to use those tools the best way. For without those tools and the knowledge to use them, we cannot do the work that You gave us. Thank You for helping us do the work of the Father. Amen
