Nothing can be more frustrating than trying to accomplish a task with the wrong tools.
The job ends up taking far more time and sometimes is impossible. The Holy Spirit uses the tools of God's Word and Sacraments to create and sustain the gift of faith in each Christian. Children usually are baptized into the kingdom of God, and the faith of Christians is nourished by the Lord's Supper and the Bible. We are to use these tools of God so our Christian faith is sustained. At times, though, we may try to take matters into our own hands and use our own tools to do spiritual work.
