Thought For Today – November 10 –
What Is Your Compass?
What is your Compass?
We are told by men of experience
in seamanship and navigation of the importance of a compass on a dark
night or in a dense fog on the high seas. When upon the ocean
billows a ship is floundering in a storm, and the fog is so thick
that you cannot hardly see a hand before you, sometimes you get to
wonder whether or not you can or should trust your compass. It seems
at times that the needle is pointing in the wrong direction from what
you think to be right, but the wise seaman will have first checked
his compass before he launches out into the unknown. When he is far
from home and from land, if he is wise, he will follow the direction
that the compass indicates as its' faithful needle points to the true
north reference point.
My dear friend whoever you may be,
we are on a broad uncharted ocean of life, lost and not having any
sense of direction or knowledge of how to find our desired haven
until we accept the
Word of God, which has been tried and
found to be true as our compass. Simply by taking the teaching of the
Word of God and obeying its' laws and principles by faith, just
because God said it, we, must believe it and follow it to guide us
safely home. Our compass tells us that the way home to heaven is by
the way of the cross. There is no other way. Broad is the way that
leads to destruction, but narrow is the way that leadeth unto life
eternal.
“Jesus Christ is the way, the
truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by him.”
Weary sailor are you lost in the
fog, unhappy, depressed, discouraged, fearfully tossed on the sea of
life, desiring eternal everlasting life, and seeking heaven, but not
not knowing where to find it? You have at your disposal a compass
which has been tried and is true, the Holy Bible, the divinely
inspired Word of God. It points to the true reference point for all
of life, the Lord Jesus Christ. It tells us how we are sinners from
birth and without hope in the world, and that we all have sinned
against God and are condemned to die; but it also tells us of how
Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. He died for our
sins, and was buried and rose again the third day, all according to
the scriptures, so that we might by faith receive him as our savior
and allow him to lead us safely home.
