These instructions may be good to keep in mind for daily living, but there is no better instruction manual for our life than the Holy Bible. In God's Word is every answer that we are seeking for. God has already placed the answers to our every question in that book that He Himself inspired the writers to write as it is written in 2 Timothy 3:16, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God…” We are not to fret or worry when we don't have the answers. God has already answered every question. All we need to do is take comfort and rest in the Lord for He has already overcome the world for us. (John 1:1-4) (Matthew 6:25-30)Not only does the Bible have every answer, but it also has laws that when obeyed cause us to live an abundant overcoming life of Victory.

We will receive blessings in our finances, health, relationships as well as everyother area of life. God promises that when we follow His laws, we will live in abundance. We simply need the obedience to obey and receive.(Psalm 119:10-16) (Deuteronomy 28:1-6)
The Lord speaks to His children through His Word and the still small voice of the Holy Spirit. You will never close the Bible wanting for answers.
Trust the Lord and take Him at His word. Follow God's laws every day and I promise you that a life of blessings and prosperity is sure to follow you wherever you may go.(Psalm 1:1-3) (1 Kings 19:12) (Deuteronomy 28:2-14)
