Direction

I remember searching for a particular brand of yeast in a large grocery store for a long time. I looked everywhere and in frustration I asked one of the employees who directed me to the right spot in a few moments. Then I thought, "I should have done this a long time ago, and saved a lot of time!" Is this not very typical in so many of our lives? We all need direction of some sort all the time. Most of the time we can get it if we ask for it!

So why do we hesitate to ask? Human nature has taught us to be independent and so many time, it is our pride that stops us from asking any one. Asking involves humility, it involves admitting that we need direction. It's also an admission that we are lost. So we often end up wasting many hours in looking for something that can be so easily found.

"Ask and it shall be given, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be open" Said Jesus in Luke 11:9. We have heard the proverb "All that glitters is not gold" right? The wisest man in the world Solomon writes, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end is the way of death" (Proverbs: 16:25) Sometimes in real life, what we see is not always what we see, it's a mirage, an illusion, a delusion or a fantasy. I have seen many disappointed people who are almost drawn to suicide because of being"cheated" in life. Friend there is direction in EVERY situation for you.

More and more people find out that the Bible, gives specific directions in every kind situation in life. It gives faith instead of fear, beauty for ashes and the oil of joy for mourning. It is the "bread of life" for our soul. Read the word see for yourself. I have found it to be true in my life. "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path" (Psalm 119:105) Our spiritual walk is just as real as our walk down to the grocery store. We need spiritual guidance, and God's Word will give us this to us.

I AM the way the truth and the Life said Jesus. There is no other way to true peace apart from Jesus.
