Have you ever made a purchase of some item that required assembly? Are you one of those people who try to put it together without using the instruction manual that came with it? A lot of people are like that. At the end of the project they wind up having to redo it because they left out a part. Or they had parts left over. Many people are trying to go through life without using an "instruction manual".
Life is difficult, period. We don't know how to have proper relationships, how to make the right choices, how to avoid pitfalls, how to make it through the bumps in the road of life, or how to handle problems that arise. Someone once said about parenting, "It's a shame babies don't come with instruction manuals". The same could be said of life in general. The fact of the matter is-- life does come with an instruction manual. It is called the Bible.
The Bible has the answers to every question, every difficulty, how to relate to people, how to have abundant life, what to do when life seems overwhelming, how to make the best choice, how to find peace, how to raise children, how to overcome obstacles, and how to get through each day. But like the people who try to put an item together on their own without consulting the manual, many people won't read the Bible and seek its instructions, wisdom and guidance.
Do you seek its help daily? Are you following its instructions? Are you letting it navigate your steps through life? Or are you trying to do it your own way? Are you trying to figure it out on your own? Are you leaning to your own understanding and wisdom?
Have a great day. It is so much easier if your read the instruction manual.
