Each job you do has tools to accomplish the task.  A job in a machine shop has to have the machines devoted to that particular job.  A seamstress has to have sewing machines, sergers, and blind stitchers in order to do the best job possible.  A farmer needs tractors, hoes, and shovels, among a few tools, in order to run a farm.

If you are a teacher, you must have books and supplies to correctly teach a classroom of students.  A truck driver has to have a well-equipped truck in order to do his job.  You can't be an airplane pilot without the plane.  Our highways cannot be built without the correct machinery and tools.

Have you ever considered the Bible as being a tool?  It's the one 'tool' (book) that no home should be without.  There is information crammed within the pages between those covers to equip you for a perfect life in Him.  When you get the Word within your spirit, it will come out of your mouth.  And, you will then be ready to give a biblical answer to any question you are asked.  You learn to bridle the tongue, and learn to speak only the Word.  When the Word is used as it should be, it brings about results.  The Lord says His Word will not come back void.

Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Psalms 119:105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
