What is your favorite day of the week?  I heard someone say; any day you get to sleep in.  God has gifted us with a special day, a day of rest and refreshment a day to connect with loved ones and with our Lord. How is it that you look at God's commandment to take a day for rest and connection with Him? 

How precious would you say that the Lord's name is in your life?  I think most of us right off would say, very precious, wonderful, awesome.  Well, how do most folks feel about the 3rd commandment. 

If there was someone you really wanted to see, someone that you really wanted to have relationship with, would you speak to a picture of them or to them directly?  Sounds kind of silly doesn't it?  Let's think about this when it comes to an Idol, rather than having relationship with God directly. 

I venture to say that most folks don't like rules and regulations for their lives, how are you with such things?  Now, what if those rules came from an All Knowing, All Powerful, All Present Being that loves you and wants the absolute best for you?  Let's talk about that. 

Isn't it nice that manufacturers include instructions on most items?  What's that old saying; If all else fails use the instructions.  Some instructions even include a number to call to get help. God is the Maker of all, and He has best use instructions for us His creation.  Let's tune in and see what the Creator has to say.  

What might have been the most important meeting in your life?  What meeting have you had that has been more precious than any other?  Now, how might that compare with meeting the Creator of all things?  

How kindly the Lord deals with us, He calls His own precious and He draws us to Himself with love. 

Do you know that God has a plan for your life, that He is interested and involved with each of your days?  So then, can you tell the things that God wants you to do and to carry, and the things that are not your to do? We need to major on what God wants us to major on, and then our lives will be sweeter and blessed. 

God wants to train us?  How does that hit you?  How about if we truly understood that the training was coming from a loving, caring and understanding God who has our best interests at heart.  Now how does it hit you? 

Ever heard the expression; When all else fails read the instructions?  Oh how important this is, particularly when speaking about a persons life, and the instructions given to us by the One who created us, when it comes to a life that is blessed.
