Thought for the day
Every year, MLAW (Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch) holds a contest to find some of the wackiest product labels. Here are some of their favorite labels from the past eight years:
A popular scooter for children warns: "This product moves when used."
A label on an electric hand blender using for "blending, whipping, chopping and dicing," warns: "Never remove food or other items from the blades while the product is operating."
A label on a baby stroller warns: "Remove child before folding."
A brass fishing lure with a three-pronged hook on the end warns: "Harmful if swallowed."
A household iron warns users: "Never iron clothes while they are being worn."
A label on a hair dryer reads, "Never use hair dryer while sleeping."
A warning on an electric drill made for carpenters cautions: "This product not intended for use as a dental drill."
The label on a bottle of drain cleaner warns: "If you do not understand, or cannot read, all directions, cautions and warnings, do not use this product."
A can of self-defense pepper spray warns users: "May irritate eyes."
A cardboard car sunshield that keeps sun off the dashboard warns, "Do not drive with sunshield in place."
On a hotel-provided shower cap in a box: fits one head.
Some of those warning labels conjure up some humorous images. Like the last one -- can you imagine trying to fit a shower cap onto two heads at once? Ridiculous, huh?Almost as ridiculous as taking the body of Christ and suggesting it has more than one head. There is one body (Eph. 4:4), and it has only one head. Fortunately, that head is no earthly person or group of people. It is none other than the Son of God himself."And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence." (Colossians 1:18)
This day, give preeminence and praise to the one who is our head!
Verses
2 Corinthians 5:7
(for I have to guide my steps by faith, not by what is seen)
Luke 9:2
He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
1 Corinthians 9:24
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.
Romans 10:12
This includes everyone, because there is no difference between Jews and Gentiles; God is the same Lord of all, and richly blesses all who call to him.
Prayer
Father, we trust You for You are worthy of implicit confidence. No problem is too difficult for You since Your power is supernatural and unlimited in strength. There is no prayer request that we bring to You that is too perplexing or hard for You to answer, no need too great for You to supply, no misdirected passion too strong for You to restrain; no temptation too powerful for You to deliver us from, and no misery too deep for You to relieve us from, for You are the Strength of our lives. And when we rest on these truths we are confident and trusting and there is no enemy force of which we should be afraid. We come boldly before Your throne of grace with Jesus as our Advocate. Amen.
