Why Do People Easily Fall Into Evil Ways?

 

In our modern world, almost every product we purchase comes with a manual. Whether it’s a smartphone, a car, or even a simple kitchen appliance, the manual provides clear instructions on how to use it, maintain it, and troubleshoot any issues that may arise. These guidelines are designed by the creator of the product, who understands its inner workings and knows exactly how to optimize its performance. Without the manual, we’d be left guessing, potentially damaging the product or failing to use it to its full potential.

Interestingly, as human beings, we too come with a "manual." Our Creator—The Author of life—knows exactly how we function, what we need to thrive, and how to "fix" us when we’re broken. Just as a product manual sets boundaries and provides instructions, The Author has given us guidelines, principles, and paths to follow to ensure we live fulfilling, purposeful lives. These boundaries aren’t meant to restrict us but to protect us and help us reach our full potential.

However, there’s a third party involved—a force that seeks to disrupt, distort, and destroy the original design. This force opposes The Author and His intentions for humanity. It thrives on confusion, chaos, and rebellion, tempting us to ignore the manual and go our own way. When we yield to this influence, we often find ourselves lost, broken, and far from the life we were meant to live.

Think about it: when a product’s manual is lost or ignored, the product often malfunctions or becomes useless. The same is true for us. When we lose sight of our "manual"—the principles and guidance provided by our Creator—we wander aimlessly, searching for answers in all the wrong places. We try to fix ourselves with temporary solutions, only to end up in dead ends or worse, deeper trouble. This is why so many people fall into evil ways—they’ve lost their connection to the original source of truth and guidance.

But here’s the good news: no matter how far you’ve strayed or how lost you feel, your manual is never truly out of reach. The Author of your life is always ready to help you rediscover it. You don’t need a degree, a PhD, or any special qualifications to reconnect with Him. All it takes is a simple, sincere request—a heartfelt prayer—to invite Him back into your life.

If you’re feeling lost, confused, or stuck in a cycle of poor decisions, you can start today by saying these words:

"Dear Author of my life, I understand that I’m lost. If You are real and willing to help me, I ask You to reveal Yourself to me and guide me back to the right path. Thank You."

This simple prayer is the first step toward rediscovering your manual and realigning your life with its original design. The Author knows you intimately, and He’s ready to help you fix what’s broken, restore what’s lost, and guide you toward a life of purpose and fulfillment.

So, are you one of those who’ve lost their manual? If so, know that it’s never too late to find it again. The Author is waiting for you to reach out. All you have to do is ask.
