Whenever I have a question, wonder how to do something, and need that quick fix, I Google it.
Just in the past few days I have ‘Googled’:
-a recipe for Greek salad dressing
-a recipe for a marinade with pineapple
-how to lay carpet
-how to transport a refrigerator
-health issues
-weather on the east coast
-the meaning of “to be or not to be”
and more!
Sometimes I wonder how I ever survived the curiosities of life, before there was Google, to answer my every query.
When we were first married, and hubby needed a quick fix he reached for duct tape and WD40.
That man could use duct tape and WD40 in massive amounts, and in a massive variety of places.
If something was making a noise, or did not operate smoothly, out came the WD40.
If something was coming apart, unattached, out came the duct tape.
Recently we ‘forced’ our son to watch the movie, A Big Fat Greek Wedding. We knew that he was at an age when the humor of the movie would delight him (and it did).
In this movie, the father, Gus, uses Windex to solve every problem and ailment, from pimples to aches. For Gus, Windex is his fixer upper of choice.
What about when Windex doesn’t eliminated the pain and bruises? What about when duct tape won’t repair what is broken, and put it back together? What about when Google doesn’t have the answers?
There is another fixer upper.
The Bible … the word of God.
It has been around since the beginning of time …
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1
The authority of it is THE authority on truth … our heavenly Father …
“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
It is true and trustworthy …
“For the word of the LORD holds true, and we can trust everything he does.” Psalm 33:4
It offers protection …
“Every word of God proves true. He is a shield to all who come to him for protection.” Proverbs 30:5
It is a guidebook …
“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” Psalm 119:105
It has always been and always will be available …
“Grass dries up, and flowers wither, but the word of our God will last forever.” Isaiah 40:8
This is the best fixer upper!
