Is it the Equipment?

The best equipment in the world, used improperly, won’t elevate your game an inch. (Author uncertain)

Whether it’s a farm implement, an auto repair tool, or sports equipment like a football or a lacrosse stick, it will not be helpful if not used properly. You can swing a baseball bat with full force, but if you can’t hit the ball, you’ll strike out. Life is like that. God has gifted each of us uniquely, and he expects us to develop and use our gift for his glory and the benefit of others.

God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. (1 Peter 4:10)
