The Importance of Directions

We take directions for granted now. Cell phones have made finding your way around, even in a foreign place, easy. It was not always so; there was a time when physical maps and hand-written directions were the best you could do. Good directions are good things; they save time and energy and point us toward our goal. Our text today features directions, not as commands, but as symbols of how to get to the blessing of God. 1.
