Are you reading the instructions?

In today's world few people truly have time to stop and read a newspaper, let alone an instruction manual. Just like the importance of a manual on your new printer, we also have a manual for how to live here on earth and how to be ready when it's time to go home to heaven.

Yep! You guessed it. It's called the BIBLE. Now I am certainly NOT perfect in the area of reading my Bible the way I should, so it's even better that I bring this to you. Often God will place something on my heart to talk about here because it's something that He needs to show me and deal with me on.
Throughout the Bible we find so many wonderful stories and inspirations, but they are so much more than just that. Have you ever read a story from the Bible and just closed your eyes and really imagined it as it happened? Has it dawned on you that this stuff is real? That the people of the Bible really existed? Well, it did really happen and it really happened to real people. And if it can all happen to real people, then why not you??

My point here is this. God is the Word and the Word is God. And just like God is still alive and well today, the Word has not passed away either. This is His Holy Living Word in which He uses to speak to us and through us. The more we read, the more His Word is hidden in our hearts to come against the enemy in all his many forms. Whether it's simple affirmations when you begin to feel negative or when you're seeking real guidence in a situation, God gave us His Word to help and to guide us.

Not only can we find some wonderful and inspirational stories, but we can also begin to discover just how much God loves us. We find hope for tomorrow, joy within the tears and peace when we begin to fear. So if you have noticed distance between you and your Heavenly Father, or perhaps there has become a lack of peace within your life, there's only one thing left to do....
