Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart! - Psalm 119:2, NKJV
God as our Creator has specific directions for our lives. If we live according to His directions, our lives work – we are blessed, and we experience life the way it was meant to be lived. If we ignore or reject His directions, we do so to our own detriment and experience much less than He intended.
All around us are
broken homes,
broken hearts,
broken hopes.
But God never intended us to be broken. He did not just create you and me, plop us down on Planet Earth, and say, “Happy birthday! Now you can guess your way through life.” Instead, He has given us directions, which form a pattern that will prevent breakage of our lives and will help to mend the brokenness already present if we follow them.
So . . . open the Creator’s manual for life – the Bible – and follow His directions.
