Take Time To Know

When I purchase any appliance or equipment I really do not bother myself about the manual, rather, I just go right ahead to use it. In some cases if the information on the manual is short I take out time to familiarize myself with the information. 

However, manuals written in about 5 different languages are not just my thing at all. I just dump them somewhere, until someday something goes wrong with what i bought and then I start to look for the manual in the stack of other manuals. Truly I would have prevented many faults and damage if I had taken time to read through the manual.

Family, marriage, relationships, parenting, health, business, money, work, savings/investment etc. are all areas of our lives all covered in the word of God. The word of God, which is the bible, is our life manual. To start out or to live our lives without getting daily counsel from the life manual is not only unwise but costly. Because like an appliance, you will save yourself from much mistakes and regrets if you daily consult the word of God, before doing anything. 

There are more books available now on various topics of life than there were many years ago. The truth is many people spend a good amount of time reading books on marriage, relationships, finances, family, spiritual growth etc. than they do reading the Bible. Books are good, but they should never be substituted for the truth in God’s word. We also can learn from other people’s experience or even our own experience. But the best place to learn everything about your life is the word of God because it is the only one with 100% guarantee and warranty. 

If you have dumped your life’s manual in a stack of other books/manuals. It is time to search it out, dust it up and start the self-discovery of God’s purpose for you. We have no excuse not to live any area of our lives to the best, because God has it all fashioned out in his word. Brothers and sisters let us take time to know what God has to say about each area of our lives.  Like the buyer of an appliance it is your responsibility to read the manual and operate the equipment accordingly. The same with God, he has given us His word to live by, but it is our responsibility to read this word and apply it rightly in our lives.

Shalom,

You are made for MORE!
