God wants us to be clear that He is our guide, if we want to walk in paths full of benefits we must obey Him. God will never force us to do things, yet He will tell us what is best for us, what is right behavior and what things we must do to live a long life full of satisfaction and accomplishment. He is a Father who wants the best for his children, but we must learn to know his will to do it by doing it and his will is contained in the Bible, so we must always read the Bible to understand a little the thoughts that God has for us and the things we must do to please Him, the Bible is a living word, when you read it it it is recorded in your mind and then the important passages come to you when you need them, because the Spirit helps us to remember it, but we must nourish ourselves with the word of God to be spiritually alive and healthy.
