Our life is a journey full of mountains, hills, valleys, and winding roads. We learn lessons as we travel the roads, some well trodden and some rarely trampled. It is easy to lose our way if we do not have a compass, a map, or GPS directing us. Have you ever been traveling to a place, realized you were lost and tried to make the map go the way you are going? Or listened to someone only to realize they have given you the wrong directions. What happens when you find yourself going the wrong way?
The New Testament offers a compass, a map to life. I have chosen 31 verses from Matthew to Revelation to focus on and write a life lesson each day during the month of October.
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12 NIV)
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. (2 Timothy 3:16 NLT)
My hope is that through these verses and life lessons that our compass, Jesus, will direct our path.
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15: 13)
