Are You Lost?

“Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.” (Psalms 25:1-4)

Today’s Morsel:  Where are you headed?  Are you on the right road or the wrong road?  When is the last time you stop to check where you are in relationship to where you are headed?  Isaiah states, “And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.” (Isaiah 35:8)  If every day brings you frustration, low self-esteem, and/or stress, you are lost and headed the wrong way.  Paul said, “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” (2 Corinthians 4:3-4)  He also states, "For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance...” (1 Thessalonians 1:5)  Have you wandered from the way called straight?  Check your map, (the Bible) every day to ensure you are in the way.

Sing: If you got chains, He’s a chain breaker; if you feel lost, He’s a way maker; if you need freedom, saving, He’s a prison shaking Savior; if you got chains, He’s a chain breaker. (Gaither’s)

Thought For Today: Check the map (The Bible) every day to ensure you are in the way. (Parker)
