Never underestimate the importance of detailed instructions. I recently put a bed cover on my truck with limited instructions. When I say limited, I am being generous. The entire instruction sheet was a 8-1/2 x 11 page with five pictures and three statements. None of the pictures actually showed assemblage; none of the statements were anything more than statements.
I spent two hours trying to get something to fit in a slot that it couldn't, wouldn't, shouldn't fit, and it didn't. After racking my brain and my patience, I finally figured out that I had the front rail on the back and the back rail on the front. Once I disassembled the frame and corrected that error, I had the entire thing done in thirty-five minutes.
How simple it would have been to put an "F" on the front rail and an "R" on the rear rail. That little bit of detail could have saved me an hour and a half or two hours. Never underestimate the importance of detailed instruction...
Today's word comes from Psalm 32:8, NIV, which reads, "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My loving eye on you."
GOD is going to give us detailed instruction in everything we should and need to do. He is not going to give us a few pictures and a few statements that give us limited insight into His plans. No, GOD is going to give us all the information we need to accomplish His will, to follow His path for our lives. Now, we have to follow the instructions; we have to use everything in the right fashion. If we will follow His detailed instructions for our lives, I think we would be amazed at what could be accomplished. Never underestimate the importance of detailed instructions.
Be Blessed,
