Seek The Lord, First

Good Morning, My Friend!!! I first open the box and lay all the parts out in separate piles or stacks,...then I get the instructions, compare parts against the parts list and read the instructions while looking at the parts,...this is now my routine, before I ever touch a screwdriver or wrench. I once was one of those guys that refused to work from instructions, after all I'm A Man,...I should be able to figure it out. And most times I did, after wasting a lot of time,...and occasionally hurting myself.

" These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to listen to the Lord's instruction."—Isaiah 30:9 (NASV)

Life comes with instructions too,....written my it's manufacturer, engineer, architect, and creator,....It's called The Bible. And as soon as we admit our need for instruction, especially God's, we'll begin to save ourselves a lot of problems and pain.

" In the midst of a crisis there is a moment of decision..... a 'crisis of belief'. 

We must determine what to do, and whose advice to follow.

Will we go with our instincts,...or will we seek the Lord?"

 

(The Man God Uses, Henry & Tom Blackaby, p. 88)

 

Lord, give us softer heads and more open hearts for Your instructions. Amen.

 

"It's not until we forget ourselves, that we usually start doing something others will want to remember."
