Tools

"The blacksmith takes a tool and works with it in the coals; he shapes an idol with hammers, he forges it with the might of his arm. He gets hungry and loses his strength; he drinks no water and grows faint." Isaiah 44:12

Today's picture is of a screwdriver that has been on the desk at Church where we sit to do the media and lights, it has been there for a little while so I thought I would take a picture of it!!

The Bible verse is taken from a chapter warning Israel about worshipping Idols and that they should put God first. I think this verse is displaying how much work goes into making an idol and how little is got out of it, the idol is not going to answer prayers, it just makes the person who is making it tired, thirsty and hungry. We need to be careful what we invest our time in, are we doing something which is futile and not serving God, but is taking up a lot of our energy. If the answer to this is yes, then you should stop, or if you need to, get help to stop...
