Whenever we do any purchase, like car, bike, computers, or home appliances, the company provides the manual instructions. It helps us how to use them, and how to maintain them and how to care those things to be used for longterm.
Someone may say “I wish we had a manual of instruction for life.” We do. It’s called the Bible, the Word of God. God made and fashioned us in His image (v.73). According to Psalm 139, God had plans for each of our lives before we were born. He gave each of us are unique mind and genetic structure. He wrote into His Book the days that He assigned to us, and He planned the best for us. He also wrote a manual to help us live the way we ought.
He gives us the Bible and says, “I want to give you understanding. The better you understand this Book, the better you will understand yourself. You are made in My image. I want to reveal you from my Word how to use your hands, your feet, your eyes, your ears and your tongue. I want to tell you how My Word can make your heart work the way it is supposed to work.” The Psalmist says, “Thy hands have made me and fashioned me:” — that’s our origin. “Give me understanding, that I may learn Thy commandments.” — that’s our operation. The Bible is the operation manual for life.
How strange it is that people try to live their lives without an instruction book. They wonder why their marriage fall apart, why their bodies are in trouble and why they’ve gotten themselves into a jam or mess. Before all else fails, read the Word of God, the Instruction Manual for everyday living.
