The instruction book for life is our Bible. We will never learn about life until we read and even memorize parts of that instruction book. I once laid the Bible aside, unread, on my coffee table as a decoration. My folks had given me a little sentence from that book that I let stand on my dresser, which encouraged me to dig deeper. It told me to seek and I would find and to knock and it would be opened. I knocked hard but no answer came until I glanced at that Bible, and something told me that was where God was answering me. What a surprise when the passages I read answered my questions!
