As a person challenged by any kind of electronics, I often push all the wrong buttons. Regardless of the gadget, I can mess it up.

• Cell phones
• Laptops
• Notebooks
• Personal computers
• Televisions remotes
• Cameras
• Microwaves

If it has buttons, I have problems. Nevertheless, I’m learning. I know I need help.

• I seek guidance from people with more knowledge.
• I review online tutorials.
• I read my instruction book.
• If all else fails, I seek help from the manufacturer – I go to the source.

Sadly, we have the same problem in relationships. We often push all the wrong buttons of other people.

• We disobey rules.
• We anger or upset one another.
• We seek our own pleasure, regardless of who we hurt.

Let’s learn in relationships. Let’s recognize we need help.

• Listen to wiser, more mature people.
• Study ways to improve.
• Read the Bible, the greatest instruction book in the world.
• Go to our Creator – the source of all wisdom.

“Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths” (Psalm 25:4 NIV).
