“Lead me in Thy Truth, and teach me; for Thou art the God of my Salvation; on Thee do I wait all the day.”
Psalm 25:5
Ordinarily, when we want to find out how to use something that was created by a manufacturer, we refer to the manual; the more complex the product, the thicker the operating manual. The manual holds all the important operating factors, such as: improper use, product warnings, and any other critical details we need to know in order to operate the product perfectly. It is the designer’s way of making sure that we operate the product at its optimum. We openly accept the manual as the leading authority in making certain the product is used the way it was designed.
And yet, although it would make the most sense to read the manual first, most people believe that they can operate the product without thoroughly reading the manual. So, we learn by trial and error, never quite experiencing what it means to use our machine at its ideal. It is the same concerning our manual –the Bible. Our Creator left an operating manual that leads us into all Truth concerning our lives; a manual that teaches us how to function, what to do when we malfunction, and how to reset our operating standard. -It even includes the necessary steps needed for us to personally reconnect to our Main Power Source. So, if we really want to know the truth about ourselves directly from our Creator, shouldn’t we read The Manual first? L.
