1. BOARD They come in all shapes, sizes, and
designs. They are like us, each a unique design by
our Creator made for Him.
(NIV) Rev
4:11 "You
are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and
honor and power, for you created all things, and
by your will they were created and have their
being."
(NIV) Psa
139:14 I praise you
because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your
works are wonderful, I know that full
well.
2. NOSE and
TAIL You need to know which direction
you're traveling.
(NKJV) Pro
3:5-6 Trust in the
LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own
understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct your paths.
3. STRINGER Sandwiched
between two foam panels, the center of the board.
We need Christ to go between us and
God.
(NIV) 1Ti 2:5 For there is one God and one
mediator between God and men, the man Christ
Jesus.
4. DECK and BOTTOM
(Rails) Which side is up? In your life
you need to know which way is up.
(NIV)
Jhn 14:6
Jesus answered, "I am the
way and the truth and the life. No one comes to
the Father except through me."
5. FINS Give stability and
guide the board. Like the Trinity - Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit.
(NKJV)
1Jo 5:7
For there are three that
bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and
the Holy Spirit; and these three are
one.
6. LEASH Cord that attaches
you to the board. It is a lifeline, like God's
people in our life.
(NIV) Ecc 4:9-10,12 Two are better than one, because
they have a good return for their work: If one
falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity
the man who falls and has no one to help him up!
... A cord of three strands is not quickly
broken.
7. WAX Gives you traction.
Keeps your feet planted, like the Word of
God.
(NIV) 2Ti 3:16-17 All Scripture is God breathed and is
useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and
training in righteousness, so that the man of God
may be thoroughly equipped for every good
work.
8. DINGS Boards get damaged
and must be repaired or further damage will
happen. Like sin in our lives, it must be dealt
with.
(NIV) 1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and
purify us from all
unrighteousness.
9. BOARDS ARE FRAGILE Our
lives are frail and shorter than we
think.
(NIV) Jam 4:14
Why, you do not even know
what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You
are a mist that appears for a little while and
then
vanishes.
