Ezra 31-6 NKJV
When it comes to putting things together electronics, furniture, and the like my son and I have differing approaches. Steve is more mechanical inclined, so extends to toss the instructions aside and just start in. Meanwhile, I'm poring over the "Read This Before starting" warning while he was already put the thing halfway together.
Sometimes we can get by without the instructions. But when t comes to putting together a life that reflects the goodness and wisdom of God, we can't afford to ignore the direction He's given to us in the Bible.
The Israelites who had returned to their land after the Babylonian captivity are a good example of this. As they began to re-establish worship in their homeland, they prepared to do so "in accordance with what is written in the Law of Moses" (EZRA 3:2). By building a proper altar and in celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles as prescribed by God in Leviticus 23: 33-43, they did exactly what God's directions told them to do.
Christ gave His followers some direction s too. He said, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all yourself" ( Matthew 22: 37-39). When we believe in Him and come to Him, He shows us the way to live. The one who made us knows batter than we do how life is supposed to work
