Want Some Good Advice?
Have you ever wished you hadn't done or said something? Have you ever said to yourself, " What was I thinking? I really messed things up?". Or have you ever tried to warn someone else about the consequences of their actions because you had seen first hand how this type of behavior can spiral out of control? Imagine if you had the opportunity to speak with God and ask Him, "What are the top ten behaviors that caused the most problems?" I'm sure most you would be familiar with His top ten, otherwise known as the Ten Commandments.

Some people see the Ten Commandments as outdated and unrelated to their lives. Others see them as a list of restricting rules. If you ask my opinion, I think God was trying to give us some really good advice on how to live peacefully and happily with one another. Think about it. God has heard the pain and suffering of people since the beginning of time. Surely He has noticed some of the most common reasons for everyone's problems. For instance, when we take our focus off God and disrespect the people God has placed in our lives, we really hurt the people closest to us. We need to respect God and the grace-filled life He has given each one of us. Be happy knowing you are blessed by God and stop comparing, wanting, or taking what isn't yours. Like any good parent, God just wants His kids to play nice, share our toys, and love one another. God has a ton of amazing ideas, I feel we should really give these ten pieces of advice a try.
