Read the manual first!




Whenever I buy a new gadget, I have this very bad habit of not reading the manual because of over excitement to use it. As soon as I purchase it, I would normally explore it with my stubborn hands and then all of a sudden, a problem occurs, then followed by another until I get so anxious about it. When I reached that point, that’s the time when I will  have to find where I put the manual so that I can try to fix it. Well, after a few episodes of stubbornness and ignorance, I learned that the manual should always be kept and read first to enjoy using my gadget and keep it always in its best working condition.



The word of God is also like the manual of every gadgets, or appliances we buy in malls or stores telling us the procedure on how to use it, the dos and don’ts, what to do when certain problems occur, and how to maintain its good function for a long time. It has always been there since Adam and Eve first set their feet on the Earth.


Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalms 119:105)


That’s how important Bible is in our life. It must be kept handy so that we may always decipher the mysteries of life in our daily living. We must leaf through its pages especially when such problems arise so that we can fix it. We must be fully aware of the dos and don’ts in life so that we will be saved. Memorize and apply the procedure on how to live a happy and decent life filled with compassion. Maintain reading the bible so that you will grow and bear good fruits through your actions. Most importantly, have a strong faith that everything written on the Bible will work out on you.
