These last four years have been to say the least...turbulent. Four moves in four years, cancer scare, home loss, job loss, broken cars, broken hearts, broken dreams. Yet, through it all is an inter-woven peace. I can't imagine not having this kind of peace. The Bible is full of instructions, guidelines and guardrails, to help lead us into the kind of peace of which I'm talking about.
But what is it about the instructions we don't like? Are we smarter than the manufacturer? Does it take too much time; or is it that, deep down we don't like being told what to do? Are you like me; one of those people who never reads the instructions when putting together a child's bike, grill, or piece of furniture from IKEA, etc? Even after four moves, we always seem to have a few leftover pieces.
Not reading the instructions when putting something together will only cost us time and pride. But when it comes to life, not reading the instructions can cost us and the ones we love, or so much more. God gives us His instruction manual through His Word; the information in it is far too valuable to disregard.
