I believe the Bible is the owner's manual for my life.
If I want to fix my car, I look at the owner's manual for the car. If I want to fix my life or get direction for my life, I look to the Bible. It gives me wisdom, comfort and guidance. The following are a few of my favorite verses for my life at this time, and a few which have shaped my life in the past. May they be a blessing to you as you read them.
