Day 9...Lost and Alon

The fact is that we are all lost without God in our lives. Some people don't realize their lost; they think their lives are going just as they planned, but they have no idea how lost they really are. Others have a pretty good idea that they're lost, but they don't want to be un-lost for some reason. For those of us that have taken that step and submitted our lives to Jesus, we know the great freedom and joy of being un-lost. We now have a reason to life and a purpose for our days here.

In 2 Timothy 3:14-17 we are reminded that one of the primary ways God speaks to us and directs our new life is through His writings to us - the Bible. If we remember what we are taught and what we discover then we will know the path that God has chosen for us and we will be able to follow it more easily. You would never expect to find your own way out of a deep jungle without a map or guide. Why then do you think you can find your way in life without God's map for you?

  • When and where can you set aside time to study your Bible?
  • What has been helpful for you (like a devotional book) as you study your Bible?

I totally agree. Pheobe and I have started really studying our bibles. We took Psalms 98 apart, one verse at a time. As we looked at the first verse, reading it in different versions, we saw the hidden meaning in each word. We spent an hour and a half on one verse! God is so incredible to give us a map that will help direct our lives the way He intended!
