"All
Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV)
At one time or another, just about everyone has bought something that required some assembly. Whether it was a piece of furniture, a toy, or even a smart phone or computer that did not need assembly, these things all come with some type of instructions. Although some people ignore the instructions and they try to put something together in a way that makes sense to them, or they just try to do what they think is best, instructions are given to us for a reason, and using the instructions is going to be better overall than not using them.
The problem with instructions is that sometimes they are a bit complicated, which is a problem in itself, but if the instructions are written in a simple and clear manner, there is no reason to not follow the instructions. But what if we think we are so smart and have such great life experience that we never need any kind of instructions? That is sad, and it happens too often. People sometimes wonder why they struggle and face problems in their life, and one of the reasons could be that they are ignoring God's instruction manual.
God has given us His Word, His instructions to live the life He has planned for us, and God has also given us the Holy Spirit to help us follow the directions that God has given. But what if we don't follow those instructions? If we ignore God's directions and wisdom, it can lead to some big problems. In the same way that natural instructions are given to help us assemble and use a product, God has given us His Word to help us put our life together and operate successfully in this world. We all need to use our God given instructions.
