My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Marvin Williams, AT THIS LINK … tells of a crew on the USS Alcoa Guide, which was sunk by a German U Boat in WW2, using the compass on board the lifeboat to guide them by leading them to the shipping lanes to be spotted and recovered by an American ship.
I think every reader here with me has experienced the feeling of being lost in this confusing and darkened world. Perhaps, in these covid days, we’ve all needed a compass (see photo) to guide us to safer waters. And that’s exactly what God offers, in and thru His word, doesn’t He (see Scriptures above))?
Many - who’ve followed my blogs, which I write from my seeking direction in life from God’s word - have seen me use the word picture of God’s word being a perfect/effective “GPS” system to guide us and lead us in life. And so, I pray that you, as do I, are using God’s truth … EVERY DAY … as our compass or GPS … to guide us in following God’s way … to His will … thru His word.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for Your word as our compass in this foggy, darkened, life of ours.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to use Your word, Lord, as our compass in life. … Amen
