CONSULT THE MANUAL

Some people base their lives on superstition, chance, luck or the alignment of the stars. I am so glad that there is an option not to live by such an uncertain thing as luck or chance and such an impersonal thing as superstition or astrology. I would hate to walk through life walking on eggshells. However, that is exactly what someone is doing when you depend upon each egg being chance, luck, superstition or the stars as your governing force. I choose to lean on God's Providence, Plan and His help with my effort in living life.

You see, I view The Word of God (Bible) as Life's Manual. My walk of life can always be metered and adjusted by what God's Word says is proper and Holy about any situation in my life. However, a great first step off the blocks in this race of life is advice from Paul to the believers in Rome. Paul said, 

"Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The commandments, 'You shall not commit adultery,' 'You shall not murder,' 'You shall not steal,' 'You shall not covet,' and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." (Romans 13:8-10)

So, I encourage you today and every day to live this lifestyle. Love God first, others next and your own life will be blessed. In the meantime, when you go through any kind of spot of your life that causes you to pause and question what to do, whether it be a challenging situation or not, consult God's Word, Consult The Manual. 

"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." - 2 Timothy 3:16
