Have you bought a piece of furniture lately. Everything comes in a box and it is ridiculous how many pieces there are. It is so complicated that a man will actually have to read the directions, or at least look at the pictures. I cannot imagine how difficult it would be to put it together without the instructions.
I feel the same way about life. Life can be so hard and it is overwhelming how many things we have to juggle to get through it. We have jobs, marriages, children, church, health, friends, family and God to balance. We have stresses from all the busy schedules finances, cleaning, shopping, eating, and on and on it goes. How do we do it? How do we balance it all and keep our sanity?
Thank God, we have an instruction manual. It is called the Bible, words from God to us! God loves us too much to just stick us here and let us figure it out on our own. The problem is many of us try and live without reading the instruction. We will only add a lot of stress to our lives when we do it on our own. When we follow the instruction manual, it all comes together perfectly. We should cherish the Word of God like they are love letters to us. I have a stack of letters that Dwayne’s father wrote to his mother when he was away in the Navy. They are precious and very sentimental to us. The Word of God should be even more precious because they are words written directly to us from the one who gave it all to for us. Thanks you God for your Words, may I let them direct my path!

Let my supplication come before you; deliver me according to Your word! My lips shall pour forth praise (with thanksgiving and renewed trust) when you teach me your statutes. My tongue shall sing (praise for the fulfillment of Your Word) for all Your commandments are righteous.

" In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.
All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it."
John 1:1-5
