We live in a complex, confusing and often frightening world, changing so rapidly that even a map quickly becomes out of date.
But the direction in which the needle of a magnetic compass points change very little, and without a compass to provide direction navigators are unable to find their way.
The scripture is also unchanging and is a source of guidance in life. We can use it as a compass to navigate through life’s minefield of many issues.
If it’s teachings are followed, the Scripture will point us along the right path of life rather than along a path to destruction on life’s many mines.
King David, a valiant soldier and king said: “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” – Psalm 119:105.
Jesus said: “I am the Light of the World. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but have the light of life.” John 8:12.
In Christ, we draw the light to navigate through life’s many mines/challenges/struggles/uncertainties and questions.
When the light shines forth, everything unclear becomes clear.
