GOD’S INSTRUCTIONS

MI DAILY DEVOTION 06- 11- 11
GOD’S INSTRUCTIONS
(Proverbs 12:1) “Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.”
Have you ever bought something like an electronics or something that needs to be upgraded, install or set up to be useful? You buy a Cell phone and you need to read the instructions so you could start calling your friends. Someone said, that “the most painful part when buying something that needs to be set up or upgrade is the reading and the following of the instructions that comes with it.” We can talk about obtaining God’s wisdom through His Word. The truth is… if you’re buying a car, you need to read the instructions or manual so you would not put your life and the life of your passengers and other people on the road in jeopardy. You have to know your car, the engine and everything on the dashboard. If you want to know God in a deeper way, you have to read His instructions which can be found in the Holy Bible. In (proverbs 12: 1) “Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge:” You will not like what it says if you will continue on reading… Notice what it says in verse 1- “…but he that hateth reproof is brutish.” Let me say it in my own words or let me paraphrase it… “He who hates rebukes is like a fool or someone who lacks understanding…” The Holy Bible is God’s manual and guide to us. We must read it, live it and LOVINGLY practice it. (II Timothy 3:16) “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”
