“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Friday; March 7, 2008

 

          A few weeks back I had the chance to drive in a city where I’d never been before.  In the past I would have had to take out a map and try to figure out where I was and how to get where I was going, all the while watching out for traffic, dealing with distractions and having to fold and unfold an unwieldy map.  Fortunately on this trip, I had a GPS receiver which took the signal from above and pointed me in the right direction.  The only time I ended up lost was when I didn’t do what it told me to do.

          When we try to navigate life, isn’t it easy to get distracted by all the issues that seem to be everywhere we turn?  Wouldn’t it be great if there was something that could always be counted on to be accurate?   Centuries ago when the prophet Jeremiah noted, “I know, O Lord, that a man's way is not in himself; nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps.” (Jeremiah 10:23) he reminded us that it is God, not us, who will point us in a true and accurate direction. 

          Do we want to get to where we ought to be?   Let’s rely upon God’s navigational system, His Bible, to get us there.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
