When I was old enough to get my hunting license, Dad took me for a hunting hike. We would leave the pick up beside a logging road and walk through the woods for hours. I would be behind him with a rifle; now that is a scary thought. Just about the time I believed us to be close to Alaska, we’d step out into a logging road and there would be the truck. Totally confused, I’d make believe I knew exactly where we were.
Now I know the moss grows on the north side of the tree, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the rivers flow down to the sea. However, when I enter the woods and can no longer see the truck, I’m lost. The sense of direction my father and brother were born with was totally lacking in me.
What a blessing to know the Bible can take us from being lost, to arriving to our eternal home safely. Just like I trusted my father’s guidance, I trust the Word of God.
Isaiah 26:3-4
You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.
Our heavenly Father is taking us for a long walk through this life. All we have to do is follow and trust. One of these days, we’ll step out into glory.
Think about it.
