THE INSTRUCTION MANUEL ISN’T OPTIONAL. IT’S MANDATORY.

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.

-2 Timothy 3:16–17 NLT

When an item needs to be put together or built, it usually comes with an instruction manual; a step-by-step guide to ensure the final outcome matches the creator’s original design.

But let’s be honest.

We often ignore the manuel completely and try to figure it out on our own, trusting our instinct over the instructions.

Sometimes we halfway follow it, only pulling it out when what we tried didn’t work.

Other times, even with the manual open, we rush through it and overlook steps without realizing.

And in the end, what we built doesn’t look or function the way the creator designed it to. Not because the manual failed, but because of our decision to treat it as optional.

That same pattern shows up spiritually.

God gave us his word as our instruction manual. Clear, intentional, and complete; but we treat it like a last resort.

We skim through it, pick and choose which parts we will follow, and lean on our own understanding for the rest. Then wonder what went wrong and why things aren’t clicking into place.

ITS BECAUSE WE DIDNT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL!

Today, choose to follow God's blueprint.

Not as a last resort, once you’ve run out of other options and everything starts to fall apart.

Start with it and stick with it and watch how every piece begins to fit, flow and flourish just as the creator created it to.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

-Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT
