Roadmap for Life - Wisdom on the way for everyday life - 1 July 2016
This month we are introducing you to the best roadmap or GPS imagineable, the Bible. The Bible is a roadmap full of wisdom for everyday life.
Every day of your journey through life is comprised of little steps, like leaving home for the first time to changing a career or marrying your true love or raising a family. All this while being in strange surroundings and encountering people from different traditions and all walks of life. You can get caught up and easily get off track while juggling duties, relationships and the daily stresses that life throws at you. The challenge is to live up to your faith in a meaningful way. With the Bible as your GPS, make sure you’re on the right way. Check the co-ordinates for the route you want to follow in the book of Psalms.
Here are a few "co-ordinates" to help you on your way.
The Lord guides people in the way they should go and protects those who please him. If they fall, they will not stay down, because the Lord will help them up. Psalms 37:23-24
He makes me sure-footed as a deer; he keeps me safe on the mountains. Psalms 18:33
I look to the mountains;
where will my help come from?
My help will come from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
He will not let you fall;
your protector is always awake.
The protector of Israel
never dozes or sleeps.
The Lord will guard you;
he is by your side to protect you.
The sun will not hurt you during the day,
nor the moon during the night.
The Lord will protect you from all danger;
he will keep you safe.
He will protect you as you come and go
now and for ever. Psalms 121
Join us on the way of everyday life and find out how God, the “author” of this book, the Bible, inspires you to understand and believe his personal message to you.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you that the Bible is much more than just a book. Help me with the help of your Holy Spirit to discover in it the co-ordinates for my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen
