So the other day I came across the most charming thing that
I’ve seen on TV in a while. It was a
Mythbusters special placing head Mythbusters Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman on a “deserted”
island with only the clothes on their backs and a pallet of duct tape. The challenge was to accomplish as many of the standard "survival" tasks as possible.
It was hilarious and amazing. Along with a very serviceable hat and two pairs of sandals, they managed to make rope, a water bag, hammocks, a small table and chairs and an outrigger canoe! And that's just some of the things the duct tape was good for!
It was fun to watch how useful a roll of tape could be when Adam and Jamie put it to work in different situations. It might even be able to save your life.
This reminds me of the Bible. The Bible is God's own Word and is useful in every situation you could find yourself in. God gives us His ultimate wisdom to help us with relationships, family, kids, work and everything else. He gives comfort for sadness, anger, loneliness and pain. God knows everything about everything and everyone and He wrote a Book for us to help us with everything in life!
"For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires." Hebrews 4:12
"All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right." 2 Timothy 3:16
And the Truth God offers can not only save your life, it will save your soul if you let it.
" Jesus told him, 'I am the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.' " John 14:6
"so also Christ died once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him." Hebrews 9:28
