WHERE AM I GOING?

A Bishop in the Church of England, known for his forgetfulness, boarded a train in London. Shortly after the train left the station, he began crawling around his seat and the other seats near him. Fearing for his safety the conductor approached him carefully, tapped him on the shoulder and asked what he was doing.

“I’m looking for my ticket,” said the Bishop.

“Well, that’s not a problem, Bishop. We’ll take care of you. It’s really quite all right,” replied the conductor.

“No, it isn’t,” said the Bishop. “I forgot where I am going!” confessed the Bishop.

“Show me the path where I should walk, O Lord, point out the right road for me to follow,” cried David. He knew that he needed guidance for life’s journey so he went to the ultimate source: God!

What are God’s methods for providing guidance to His children?

His primary guidance system is His Word. If we truly want Him to lead us, we need to go to the “source” of His information. By carefully reading and meditating on His Word, we will gain wisdom and insight on where we are to go.

Then we must spend time in prayer – waiting with a sincere willingness for Him to reveal His path for us.

Prayer:  Lord, we know that You have the path for us to take in life’s journey. As we read Your Word, open our eyes, speak to our hearts and show us the path we are to take. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Scripture For Today:   Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow. Psalm 25:1-5
