Even simple tasks like removing these retaining rings need thought and preparation
First, finish your outside work
and prepare your fields.
After that, you can build your house. – Proverbs 24:27
If you have ever tried to remove a retaining ring from some machine without an extractor, you already have the sense of what is being taught here.
Removing this looks easy.
A pair of pliers should work.
At some point, you might give up even though the correct tool costs $5 at Walmart. Having the correct tools and proper preparation makes the task at hand manageable.
In the same way, staying faithful to the Lord’s work requires daily preparation.
Study.
Prayer.
Worship.
Sacrifice.
These are the things that help us meet the challenges that we will face.
They prepare us for the work.
