The LORD says, I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Psalm 32:8 I love to travel. I love to hit the open road and see new sights. On many of the vacations I’ve taken, the best and most enjoyable part was the journey itself. Just to be out there on the open road and see all the beautiful country God has made is so exciting and thrilling. I’ve been very fortunate in my life to have the opportunity to see a good bit of this great country we live in. I’ve been to over half of our fifty states and out of the country four times. I’ve seen so many beautiful sights and feel very blessed. I think my favorite drive was on the trip we took out west. We drove out to California to the Pacific Ocean and man the things we saw…the Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, the Petrified Forest, Hoover Dam, White Sands, and one of my favorites, Carlsbad Caverns. I loved seeing the mountains and couldn’t get enough of them. They were spectacular! One of my favorite aspects of traveling; the one thing I get really excited about, is planning the trip. Whenever we decide on a destination for a trip, I don’t waste any time. I have so much fun looking at the maps and planning out the route we’ll take. I simply love it! When we consider our live here on earth, it’s really nothing more than a journey. We are pilgrims traveling through this world on our way to an eternal home. We have choices to make and we need directions. God gives us the atlas we need as we travel through life. The Holy Bible is our atlas for living. In order to have joy and peace during our journey through life as God intends, we must commit to reading and studying His word. Life is an ongoing and continuous journey, full of exciting adventures, and you are free to choose your destination. It’s up to you as an individual to decide which route to take. I encourage you to make it your habit to pull out the roadmap God has provided to read and study it. Don’t just drive down the back roads of life with no direction or purpose, but study God’s word so you’ll always know where you’re going and how you will get there. There’s an old saying, “You can’t get to where you’re going if you don’t know how to get there.” God promises in His word that He will instruct and teach us in the way we should go; watching over us and guiding us along the way. God’s Holy Word will get us home. He doesn’t promise it will always be easy. There will detours along the way. You may hit some potholes of strife, get stalled by the breakdowns of conflict, get stuck in traffic jams of tribulation, and will at some time or another pass through storms of doubt. But as long as you study the map God has provided for you; you’ll get to where you’re going. Oh and what an exciting journey it is with many beautiful sights and amazing experiences along the way. You’ll get to delight in a canyon full of love, bask in a desert of hope, enjoy caverns packed with joy, and find pleasure in an ocean of peace. Use the Bible for your road map and let the Holy Spirit guide you on your way, you will have the time of your life. The Bible is the atlas for the soul. Read it! Study it! Live by it!
