“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.”  Psalm 32:8

Legos. . .

Big ones, small ones, really small ones, blue ones, red ones, yellow ones. . . 

All covering the table and spilling out onto the floor.

Somewhere in that mounded pile, were the pieces of a fire truck.  Without the instructions, it would have taken hours and hours of trial and error in order to piece together the correct pieces in the correct positions.  With the instructions, it was a much easier task!  

Not only did God care enough to give Moses specific instructions on how to build the ark itself, but He cared enough about all people to give us special instructions on how we should live our lives, relate to each other, and most importantly, how we should relate to the Lord Himself!  Don’t try to figure out everything on your own!  Consult the Ultimate Instruction Book!  God’s answers and instructions are just waiting to be read, believed, and received!
