Do you ever think of the Bible as just a big book of rules that you couldn’t possibly follow? Good news: the Bible is so much more than a rulebook. It’s a book where God shows us His good heart and His good ways. Meaning, in the Bible, God is teaching us who He is and showing us the best way to live. 

Since God made the world, He knows the best way to live in it—and the Bible gives us plenty of examples of how it can go wrong when we don’t. The rules aren’t just there to keep us in line. They are there so we can learn how to live a good life—the kind of life God wants for us. 

This week, ask yourself these questions: Is there something God has been asking me to do, but that I don’t want to do? What if God is looking out for me and not trying to rob me of having fun? How would knowing that change what I do today?
