Yup, so you might want to stay away from that table saw

I think you've got the quote wrong, idle HANDS are the devils workshot.

If an idle workshop is there, then wouldn't the owner's hands be idle, and therefore the workshop of the devil, possibly making the person with idle hands (since not working in the workshop) the devil itself? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I wouldn't say so. The Devil's at work quite a bit and his mind is probably insane, seeing he himself is driven crazy by his own hatred for God and for mankind. I hope that this is helpful. -In the Master's service. Thank you and God bless you!

You actually have the quote correct. The depth of the quote referes to the fact that if your mind is idle, not occupied or employed or lacking worth or basis, it's the perfect place for the devil to get to work. He can do so very easily because if your mind is not focused on anything, he can plant the seed in you tht he wants to, which is contradictory to the Word of God. He can mold you and shape you into whatever he wants. The quote sublimonaly explains to us that we have to be involved in ministry and armored in the Word of God so that our minds are not idle, thus vulnerable to the devil's teachings. So an idle workshop, an object, is not the devils mind. The devil doesn't seek to occupy objects, but rather he seeks to occupy and bring harm to people.
