SILENCE

“A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.” –  Rachel Naomi Remen

THE BIBLE SAYS:

“….., IN QUIETNESS…………IS YOUR STRENGTH, …….” –

Isaiah 30:15

I am adjusting to my new Shaver

I am adjusting to my new shaver (REMINGTON, Titanium Pivot & Flex, F4790).

“USE & CARE INSTRUCTION MANUAL” , I am reading on the first page of the manual. And underneath it says “Please read prior to use”.

“Before using , read the important safety instructions in this manual.” I am reading that on page four of the manual.

But that is not all. “Before charging, study instruction manual”, it says on the Power adaptor.

I am impressed!

“Please read prior to us.” “Before using,…” “Before charging,..” And it does not only say “read”, but “study”.

Just as I do not ignore the instruction manual for my shaver,  I do not ignore the instruction manual for my life.

The Bible is the instruction manual for my life. The BIBLE is our manual of our knowledge of God. The Bible is our manual of divine truth. The BIBLE is our manual to everlasting life.

I am reading the manual, I am studying the manual.

But how many people do? How many parents are true followers of the Lord Jesus Christ?  (How do we get this generation back to God?) How many parents are impressing the commandments of the BIBLE on their children?

What does the BIBLE say about the commandments?

“Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.”

Deuteronomy 6:7-9
