Waterpik Illusion

Embarrassing? Yes. Funny? Obviously. Feeling stupid? Of course.

Have you ever gotten a new gadget to play with, only to try it without fully reading the instructions, and then something embarassing happens to you? Well, it happened to me, first time in quite awhile I might add.

Throughout history it has been well documented and perceived that men are more prone than women to fix or even just "do" something without first reading the instructions. I am usually not like that, but sometimes I can be daring. I mean, come on, a waterpik? How hard can it be to use?

I put the miscellaneous parts together easily and decided to give it a try without any reading of the manual. Well, I tried, and I failed.
I had no idea how powerful the waterpik was as water poured out profusley to where the bathroom received more water than my mouth. Hmm, I then read the manual to which the simple instructions were to keep mouth closed while using and keep your finger on the on-and-off button.

Instructions, who needs them? Obviously we do.

Probably the greatest instruction manual for life is in the top selling book of all-time, The Bible. In it you will find instructions on pretty much every situation or emotion you may be going through.There is also a song about the Bible which spells out what the letters could possibly mean:

Basic
Instructions
Before
Leaving
Earth

Included inside this great instruction manual are several scripture verses that even tell us to seek after wisdom:

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. - James 1:5
 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 
- Colossians 3:16

One of the great reasons why we should study and know God's Words is so we won't get led falsely within the world and it's philosophies.

Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.- Colossians 2:8

Instructions are important, whether it's a waterpik or dealing with the struggles of life. 


If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom. - James 3:13
