Bible Study Verse
Romans 6:13 
Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness,  but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to Him as an instrument of righteousness. (NIV)
 
Thoughts
Tools and gadgets are part of outdoor fun. We all have a bag, a vest, a tackle box, or maybe even a garage full of them! They make outdoor times more productive and enjoyable. Going through catalogs helps get us through times of “cabin fever” between seasons. 
 
We all know that there are specialty tools with a specific purpose and function. If we need a certain job done, we must have that particular tool to do it. 

Outdoor shows feature myriad varieties of such tools; and part of the enjoyment in attending these shows is to learn about the new ones, and to purchase what we need. 

Action Point
Our bodies are tools. We choose if they are tools for good or tools for sinning. Certainly these influences – good or bad – may be upon ourselves or others. 

God has specific functions for each of us. We are intentionally constructed for His purposes. He invites us to join Him in His work here in this world to accomplish unique things for His glory. 
 
He rewards and disciplines us for what we do, whether we choose to do good or to use our bodies for evil. II Corinthians 5:10 reminds us, “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad,” (NIV). 
 
His intent is for us to use our bodies as tools to accomplish good as He defines it. I choose to use my body for good and for His glory. 

Which purpose will you choose? Will you choose to use your body as a tool for good or for sinning?

Sportsmen’s Tip of the Day
Carry the right tools when afield. A knife, a saw, fire making equipment, signaling devices, first aid kits, and other implements are needed at different times. Folding style multi-tools are made by many reliable companies. They may be carried in a sheath on a belt or in a pack. The many tasks that these tools may perform might just save a hunt, or a life.
