Duct Tape Ready - World Light Mission Reflections Blog

As I am using duct tape to fix my son’s drum sticks so he can continue to play while waiting on Amazon to deliver a new pair, I wonder about other pieces of equipment.

NBA players trade out their sneakers every week because they say it starts to lose its grip.

Some hockey players use a new stick for every game. A team will typically break 3-4 sticks per game.

If you ask a chef how often they hone their knives you will hear anywhere from after every use to as many as after four uses.

So what is my point here?

The tools that are needed to do a job well often need fixing or replacing. As a Christian your main weapon against Satan is your Sword of the Spirit (also known as the Bible). So is your Bible well used? Has the cover come off? Are pages torn and missing? To be able to use it well, you should use it often.

I would like to encourage you (and myself) to do some sort of daily Bible reading. Get into the Word and then see how you can apply what you read as you meet people throughout the day.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.”

So grab your new tool or repair what needs to be repaired, and get busy learning and doing the good work for which you were designed.
