How many of us can remember a toy we got for Christmas or
Birthday present that had to be handled a certain way or it could break?
Whether it was just fragile or had specific instructions, like a Transformer. I
can remember plenty-a-broken Transformer (I think I was the reason they invented
the plastic joints that just popped back together). I thought I had it figured
out, and then Snap! Sometimes I could fix the problem; sometimes it was a brand
new toy getting a trash can funeral. The funny thing is, we have a hard time
learning from our mistakes. We grow up and think we can get somewhere without
asking directions, or we build our new entertainment center with all the pieces
left over, then wonder why it fell over a week later.
God
gave us directions in life so that we could have a better and more prosperous
life; You should not have any other gods before me, don’t kill, don’t steal,
mind your parents . . . yet we still choose not to listen to them, and do our
own thing. Things start to break, and this time, we can’t just throw them away
in the trash and go out and buy another one.
When
we don’t follow God rules, we end up with broken hearts and broken lives, and
God is the only one that can fix them or replace them. Will you be patient and
take a few extra minutes to read His instructions today?!
