Do you ever think of the Bible as a big book of rules you couldn’t follow? Good news: the Bible is so much more than a rulebook. It’s a book where God shows us His good heart and good ways. The Bible helps us learn more about who God is and what full life looks like through the example of Jesus.

Since God made the world, God 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.

Today, ask yourself these questions: Is there something God has been asking me to do, but that I don’t want to? 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?
