The Written Manual for Everyday Life Did you get yours? Wouldn't it be nice to have a manual. Something that you could go to every time you had a problem in life... Make a new friend. Page 32 Make a decision. Page 10 Make choices to live a long life. Page 61 Wouldn't that be nice? A manual with answers. The cover and pages tattered and worn from being read, over and over, everyday. Book marks everywhere. Little notes in the margins. All those daily struggles you face... and a book that gives you everything you need to deal with life's struggles. How to live your life. Page 109 How to get along with your parents. Page 187 How to raise kids. Page 204 - 1040 <giggle> Funny thing about manuals. People want one, but then, and I so don't get this. People don't read their manuals. From the one in your glove box (ever put your gloves in there?) for your car, the one that comes with your appliances and the big thick ones that come with your software for your computer. Still shrink wrapped, patiently waiting for you to remove the plastic wrap, open the pages and read. No one reads those things. Takes to long. All those words. All those instructions. I get to page 5... then I am fast asleep. That's the problem with a Manual for Everyday life. Everybody wants one. No one wants to take the time to read one. How do I know? The answers to everyday life, the manual for your life is the Bible. People have Bibles. Most laying next to the bed. Just waiting for a life changing event to come along. The person's life shattered by an event. The dust blown away. The book picked up and opened as the search for an answer (most often why, why, why) is on. If only... they had picked up the Bible long ago. They would know right were to turn. They would know the answers, have the pages bookmarked in preparation. Living their life close to God. Their heart and mind prepared by their Father for whatever life throws them. You got questions. Want to know more about life. Need help with an issue you're struggling with? Open your book. The one next to the bed. Wisdom? Open to Proverbs. Romance? Open to Song of Songs Marriage? Open to Colossians Love? Open to Corinthians How to build a really big boat? Open to Genesis <wink> How to live your life? Open to Paul's book of Romans God's rules for your life? Open to Exodus and Deuteronomy Need Joy for your life journey? Open to 1 Peter I can go on and on. People searching for answers. All the time, they have everything they need and oh so much more. Sitting right there next to their bed. If only. If they would just pick up their Bible. Blow off the dust and open the pages. The manual for their life. The answers to comfort them. The answers to life. The answers to joy. Answers, answers and more answers. Just waiting. Pick it up. Open it up. Read it up.
