The Formulas in the Scriptures

When I was younger, I had no idea how to solve a rubik's cube. I would grab one of the many my family had for what ever reason, and play around with it, forget what I did with it and have to turn it over to my dad to solve. I would then get it back in my possession fiddle with it some more, and once again give it to my dad to solve. To me the rubik's cube posed an impossible conundrum of connecting the colors back together. This continued until one year I got a five by five by five rubik's cube for Christmas. I decided at that point I needed to learn how to solve it or else it would stay a jumbled mess. After watching a youtube video about a dozen time I had the steps down. That video taught me that there were a few simple steps that you take to solve it. These algorithms or formulas always do as you want and always solve the cube when applied correctly.

The Need For Scriptures

For many of us, a user manual is only used when a trouble comes up. We are perfectly content with the way  something is going until it spontaneously combusts, shatters, or  fails in any other possible (or impossible) way. We then turn to the user manual looking for the solution to our problem, often ignoring the maintenance section which if viewed and used before hand would have stopped the problem from arising. If used as intended, a user manual would help stop problems from forming instead of fixing when the problem becomes too severe

Feast Upon the Words of Christ

Nothing compares to a feast: food sprawled across the table, the sweet and savory aroma fills the room and as you gaze into a mountain on your plate, all that goes through your mind is soon I will be stuffed. Soon one plate becomes two and two becomes four as you return for more helpings all in the endeavor to enjoy every morsel.
