"WHEREFORE seeing we also are compassed about
with so great a cloud of witnesses,
let us lay aside every weight,
and the sin which doth beset us,
and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith."
Hebrews 12:1
"Direction"
Direction plays an important role in our daily lives.
From the moment we place our feet on the floor each morning until we retire for the night, we are directing our daily routine in our minds and through the use of our bodies.
If we would look unto Jesus for our direction
with the start of each new day, we would be able to see that Christ brings better benefits and easier tasks our way. We will also be better witnesses for our Lord if we are not so busy "drifting" along in every direction.
If we were to go out to sea without a compass,
we would expect to get lost and possibly not find our way back to shore. We would have to just drift until we were rescued. It is also this way for God's people today.
Far too many people just drift along or remain stationary.
We need to "get into the race"
and get moving in the direction God puts in front of us.
We must force ourselves to keep moving forward
in our relationship with Christ, making Him our compass.
He will always steer us straight!
May we all be encouraging witnesses to the spectators
which surround us out there. Let us set our eyes on Jesus with the beginning of each new day and take "direction" from our wonderful Lord and Savior.
May the Lord direct our every path.
"Examine me, O LORD, and prove me;
try my reins and my heart."
