"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect (complete), thoroughly furnished unto all good works." (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Have you ever found yourself trying to put together a new appliance or tool, or attempted to operate a new gadget and discovered that you had left the instructions in the box it came in? That's happened to most of us. In frustration you get out the instructions and start over. Now, everything works. As someone said, "When all else fails, read the instructions."
God has given us a book of instructions on how to live here and prepare for eternity. In the two verses above we are told that these instructions are "God Breathed," or given by inspiration of God. This book gives us sound doctrine and what we should believe. It expresses disapproval when our actions are in error. It corrects us and sets us on a good path. It states as its purpose that we might be complete and prepared to do good works.
If your life is out of control with no meaning and everything is falling apart, I strongly encourage you to read, believe and practice the instructions the Lord and Master has given us. After all, God the Creator made us. He knows what's best for us.
