My new cell phone is really a pocket computer! The salesperson says it
will do amazing things. It can pick up emails from work and home, surf
the net anywhere and anytime, it uses windows programs including power point
presentations, it can text message, call anywhere in the country will play
movies and even has an mp3 player and an alarm. Oh, yes, and it's a phone too.
But, the only thing I can do is text message and make a phone call. I
even have trouble answering it sometimes. Because I haven't read all of
the book of instructions that came with it; I don't get to do all
of the things this super phone will do.I only can do what I've figured out on
my own using what I knew from my old phone.
The Bible says that God has amazing plans for us. It says that He has
more than we have seen, heard or can imagine in store for us. But,
because we haven't read the book we don't know how to get to it! We tend
to try and figure it out using what we knew from our old life. We
are missing all of the wonderful things that God has provided for us to have
because we haven't spent time with The Book.
I don't know about you, but I plan to sit down with the book that came with
my phone and learn all of these amazing new features. I also am going to
sit down again with my Bible and remind myself of all the power and all of the
life that God has provided for me if I will simply take him at His Word.
The Word that I will find in that Bible. I'm going to stop trying to
figure it out on my own and use the instructions that He gives in The Book.
I want all of the amazing gifts and the great future that God has for me,
don't you? He's left us the instructions, but we have to read them in His
Book, The Bible.
Remember, You are loved - I read that in The Book.
