Today’s devotion is going to be a little different in that it is a devotion about devotions. Redundant? Possibly but as I was doing my devotion today I was struck with this statement (after reading it I urge you to take a second and think about it):

“People’s lives depend on how skilled we are!”

Now after pondering on that for a little while I was hit with the reality that as humans we complain about circumstances and events that happen in our lives that we don’t understand. But do we ever take the time to stop and think how is God using this to sharpen me or train me for something. Another way to think about it is if you were tasked to cut down a forest would you want an axe that was sharp or dull. Well obviously you would want a sharp axe so that every swing made as much impact as possibly. Well we should look at our Christian walk with God the exact same way! We should study his word, and participate in discipleship through a local church or conference so that when God puts an oppurtunity in front of us to share his word we can make the most impact as possible. If you are not skilled in His word then you are the same as a dull axe…useless! Consider this verse in II Timothy 2:15

15Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

So that is it. Study God’s word, learn what he has in store for you and make yourself available to be used as a tool for HIM!
