I have been reading several blogs over the past few years and will try my hardest to keep this updated and entertaining to those of you who actually read my blog...
Just to start I want to post one of the recent devotionals that I have read...
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.
-Colossians 3:16 (NRSV)
I recently accepted a job that requires me to travel in unfamiliar territories. I've never enjoyed driving and particularly dislike traveling by myself on busy highways. I am afraid of getting lost.
In anticipation of my first trip, I purchased a portable Global Positioning System (GPS). I had no time to try it out before leaving, so I packed it carefully in my bag, said a quick prayer, and headed towards the bumper-to-bumper traffic of the Los Angeles freeways.
It took a little time to set up the GPS and to become comfortable trusting the system. Eventually, though, I came to depend on it when I did not know the way. Having its guidance was reassuring as I made my way from store to store.
Being in fellowship with other Christians is a bit like having a spiritual GPS. We know where we are trying to go, but we are not always certain of our next step. In times of joy or confusion or when we come to a crossroads in our faith, our fellow travelers help to guide us on our way.
