"Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me." -Psalm 119:133 (NIV)
There are several trails at the nature center where I volunteer. Even though many people no longer use maps for navigating the roads, I was recently involved in a conversation about the value of a trail map to hikers and visitors looking to head out on the trails. Options of paths to take, distances to travel, and sights to see are pieces of information that are important when choosing a route.
God gives us a map for living life. We can know more about what to expect and how to navigate it when we rely on God's Word and in the directions He provides in our lives. To know which way to go, we need to take the time to read the map, His Word, and to understand what it is telling each of us for our lives. As we talk to God, listen to Him, and read and understand His word, we can choose the route we should take. After asking for God's direction, we should allow Him to guide our footsteps and help us avoid the control of sin.
Find your direction by using God's map - the Bible - and following His guidance for your life!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and guiding me. Help me to read and understand Your Word and direct my path so I can avoid the control of sin. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
