Follow The
Instructions
“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 perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”
(2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Today’s Morsel: Last year I
purchased a desk chair for my wife for Christmas. When I opened the box
and pulled out the papers for the instructions, as I like to follow the
instructions when I put things together, there were only pictures. I
guess the company thought if they cannot read they can follow the
pictures. You know that they say a picture is better than a thousand
words. The apostle Paul states that all scriptures are inspired by God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness. Why do we need instructions to obtain
righteousness? Man needs not
only to be made acquainted with truth to be convinced of his error, and to be
rehabilitated, but he needs to be taught what is right, or what is required of
him in order that he may lead a holy life. Every changed and regenerated
man needs instruction, and should not be left simply with the evidence that he
is “rehabilitated, or converted.” He should be followed up with the
principles of the word of God, to show him how he may lead an upright
life. As
Solomon states, “Give instruction to a wise man,
and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in
learning.”
(Proverbs 9:9). The only way you can put your
life together correctly is to follow the instructions written in God’s word.
Sing: I saw the light, I saw the
light, no more in darkness, no more in the night. Now I am happy, no
sorrow in sight, praise the Lord, I saw the light.
Thought For Today: Follow the
instructions and they will get you out of darkness.
