Do You Have the Right Tools and Equipment?
Imagine you’ve hired a contractor to carry out some major remodeling on your home. You open the door to find a man dressed in casual clothes and no sign of tools or workers. Expressing surprise, you ask him if he is there to begin work and he says, “Yes, I am!” When you ask where his tools and workers are, he says, “Well, I’ll figure something out!”
This is a man who is not “thoroughly equipped” for his job. And sometimes we find ourselves not equipped for the job of living life. But sometimes we meet people who are; they possess a sense of wisdom, of peace, of contentment, and of purpose that amazes us. When we get to know them, we discover they have spent consistent time, for many years, studying the Word of God. The doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction they have gained is evident in their lives.
Don’t show up for the job of life without the tools you need. Let the Word of God thoroughly equip you for life.
Nehemiah 8:18
18 Also day by day, from the first day unto the
last day, he read in the book of the law of God.
And they kept the feast seven days; and on the
eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the
manner.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly
furnished unto all good works.
The truly wise man is he who always believes the
Bible against the opinion of any man. ~ R. A. Torrey

wow great post i like that kind of biblical message ,, God Bless you @deathlyhorror
I choose to be wise by equiping my self with the word of God today. Time is fast spent. Opportunity comes to him that is ready for it.
Very awakening message shared @deathlyhorror.
your example is very good, we must be equipped to face life as it occurs to us sometimes it catches us off guard that we do not find what to do is there when we realize that something is missing we must bear in mind that we always have something to learn from others his experiences should not underestimate anyone, and always be ready to learn without being unarmed for any situation ...
I really liked your post! Here is a reference to that too, the word of God, which is in fact working on us that we believe.
Thank you and brother of peace! Blessings
Thank you, I really enjoyed this post! My question is how does a parent effectively equip their teenage kids in today's society? We try to live out the Gospel as much as we can. We try to use different situations as teachable moments but the teens nowadays are sooo different than when I was a teenager. They have so much more temptations and if you cant tell by now, I am concerned for our teens.

Isaiah 30: 20 And Jehovah * will certainly give you bread in the form of anguish and water in the form of oppression; however, your Magnificent Instructor * will no longer hide, and your eyes will have to become [eyes] to see your Magnificent Instructor. "God, the best teacher in the universe, teaches us through the Bible his inspired word, Blessings!!
Wow this is so short and concise. We all need to equip ourselves for the task ahead. Let's make the word of God our one and only tool. Thanks @deathlyhorror for this piece of reminder.
