The Best Moral Compass
“My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:” (Proverbs 6:20-23)
Today’s Morsel: If you were to ask most young people today to navigate their way from point A to point B, using a Lensatic Compass, most of them would probably get lost. But when I was in the army, almost all our navigation was done through this handheld device. No matter if we were in the jungles of Vietnam, Germany, the snow-covered mountains in Alaska, in the desert, or on other bases in America, that was our navigational device. Times have changed and now we use electronic GPS systems to navigate to find our way. The best compass for navigating your life is the word of God. It will keep you on true north every time, and you don’t have to worry about veering off course. With the lensatic compass, if you veer of course one-degrees, at one-hundred meters it causes you to be ten-meters off-course when you reach your destination. So, one-degree off course at a thousand meters, would place you one-hundred meters off course. A GPS system is much more surer than the system we used to use. But the Word of God has remained the only sure navigational system for our lives. We can’t use anything else to help us navigate through life. We need the word of God. “For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:” If you don’t want to get lost and miss heaven, keep following the word of God. It will get you to the right destination every time.
Sing: There’s a highway to heaven, none can walk up there, but the pure in heart. Oh, there’s a highway to heaven, walking up the King's highway.
