With all my heart I seek you.
Do not allow me to stray from your commands!
Last summer our wireless router went bad, so I had to purchase a new one for the house. When I got it home, I wanted to connect right away, so instead of reading the directions, I just plugged everything in and started it up...who needs directions, right? The lights came on, everything looked like it was working, but my phone nor my laptop would connect. I was surprised...it should've worked, right!!!!????

How many times have we tried to take a short-cut and not read the directions God has given us? Right here, many times! And why do we take short-cuts? Because we want everything quicker, faster, we don't want to expend that extra time reading directions when we could be doing something faster just so that we can do the next thing quicker and faster! When I went back to those directions on the WIFI, did what the directions told me to do, I realized I missed a lot of what was very important to the setup procedures. Once I did all of it, everything worked fine. If we stop, breathe, take the time to find out from God what is needed in a situation instead of trying to do it our way, a way we think is going to be quicker, we would find that in the process of doing it God's way, we learn more, we get closer to Him, AND the result of doing it His was is lasting!
