Owner's manual

I was blog hopping yesterday and was delighted by how little benghui looked after the flowers in his garden. He must have read quite a fair bit to have the green fingers.

Being that "kaypoh" auntie, I put a comment -

Hi, Benghui, nice flowers in your garden! As flowers give nectar to butterflies, so do words from God sweeten and strengthen our lives. This holiday – learn to read the Bible? His words are sweeter than honey! Enjoy your holidays!

Incidentally, I revisited this book last night as I took a break from my night's duty (Air time from yours truly: that will be another story another time, stay tune for tomorrow's story.), “Beneath the Surface” by Bob Reccord, this little paragraph caught my attention -

It is amazing what you will read when you are bored. Picking up an automobile magazine, I came across an interesting question-and-answer column asking, “What’s the most unread book in America?” Being in the ministry, my mind raced to a typical answer – the Bible. I was dumb founded when I read this magazine’s answer – the car owner’s manual. I almost laughed out loud.

Have you ever read your car’s manual? When we buy a car, we have already possesed a licence to drive. So, just hop on and drive – who cares about the manual? Some read when the car breaks down. Most just send the car to repair instead of reading the manual first. But we are supposed to read the manual for the maximum effectiveness and performances of the car!

Yes, to live our lives to the maximum effectiveness, read God’s Owner’s Manual – The Bible.

That’s the lesson to learn, indeed.
