It is so important to know the function of a thing. When we are not aware of the purpose of something, we will misuse and abuse it, despite our intent. This is why we have user guides and manuals to help guide us with the operation of things.

The same way we research how to operate our phones, computers, and even vehicles, we must be just as diligent in seeking God in how we are to operate in the earth. We are so much more complex and valuable than our gadgets, but we must be just as diligent in seeking our manufacturer on our features, functions, and effectiveness in the earth. Our education, family, and personality types are all tools to help guide and sharpen us. Take time out this week to ask God to show you His purpose for your life! You will be amazed by what He shows you.
