THE MAP

I will not neglect your word.   I will..not forget your word.   I have put my hope in your word.   Your word, O LORD, is eternal.   Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.     Psalm 119: 16, 81, 89, 105

 
The Map

The woods, a beautiful exciting place in which to be and to explore nature at its' untouched finest.

Sunlight filtered through the aging pines. Shadows made by scrub palmettos and rustling branches were intriguing to watch as they shifted. My sister and I kept wandering on….

We had been told at the desk there was a path, but we never did see it. No problem, we thought it would be so easy to get back to the parking area. We weren't too concerned about finding the path. However those beautiful woods turned into a scary place to be when we were ready to leave and could not determine which way was out.

I have heard the Bible described as a map for life, filled with direction, guidance, and lifesaving messages. I thought of this when we were confused and needing wisdom and in those woods and wishing we'd done a Hansel and Gretel thing with breadcrumbs or something.

Today it's a reminder to

 me, and so true…the Word of God really is the total map for life. That's good news.
