Insight Daily Insights: The Place Of Instructions

“Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.”
Prov 4:13

Nomatter how great your dream or vision is. If you don’t follow God’s instructions, you may never fulfill it. It’s unfortunate that many folks never listen to instructions. After Paul got called by the LORD, he asked him an important question, “And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.” Acts 9:6
Asking the right questions will determine the answers that you get. Folks ask the Lord for everything except for instructions.

If you got a powerful drug from the doctor but didn’t use it according to the prescribed instructions, the drug may not help you or may even cause you big problems. The things of God must be according to instructions. King Saul was once asked to kill all Amalekites and all their possessions, but he spared Agag the King and kept the sheep to sacrifice, but because that was not the instruction, he lost the throne. Samuel, the prophet, said, “Obedience is better than sacrifice.” Doing exactly what God said is always wiser. If God says go around Jericho 7 times but you decide 4 times or 15 times, you may find yourself out of the will of God. It’s his instruction that matters, not our own reasoning. God told the folks in the old testament that only the priests were to carry the ark of the covenant but David made a nice new golden cart and with it carried the ark, when Uzzah touched the ark trying to save it from falling he was killed instantly. Uzzah tried to do a good thing, but it was against the instructions of God, and he died. Taking heed to instructions will save you.

The problem is that many folks never read the instruction manual. They only assume what the manual says. 2 Timothy 3:16 says “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” That means God’s word is an instruction manual for the life of righteousness. At each and every stage of your life, it’s important that you know what you should do and how to do it. God is smarter, and he can give you one idea that will put you over. Sometimes we rush when we should wait and sometimes we wait when we should race. This is all because we walk without instructions. Sometimes we copy the instructions of someone and miss on our own, then we wonder why things aren’t working. God wants you to learn to learn to deligently harken to his instructions.
