I walked in and saw a perfectly organized room. There were pegboards on the walls, and tools were hanging perfectly straight by size and use. The workbench was clean, and every item was in its proper place.

Then I walked outside to find the yard a mess. There were limbs everywhere, leaves piled up that needed raking, and hedges that needed trimming.

There is no correlation between having a well-stocked and organized toolshed and the use of those tools.

The same is true for Christians. You can have all the Bibles, concordances, commentaries, theological books, and Biblical tools and still have a messy life lived far from Jesus.

Maintaining an organized tool shed doesn’t mean you use those tools regularly.

So, the next time you feel proud of your tools, remember that other people will look at your lawn or your life and know the truth.
