The Word of God is our trail marker. Without the Word of God, we don’t know where to walk, or even how to walk, in a spiritual sense. Left to ourselves, we will get lost.
Main Points:
1. A hiker who ignores the trail markers and wanders off the well-worn path, thinking they know a better way, is foolish. To think you know better than those who have walked this journey before you would be unwise. Yet, as it relates to our Christian faith, it happens all the time.
2. We must see that there is safety in staying on the path God has marked out for us. He has marked the way home. If we let God’s Word be our guide and if we let the Scripture identify every step, we’ll make it safely to our eternal destination.
3. We can’t afford to be careless on our spiritual journey. We must be in the Word of God. We must read the truth of the Bible and apply it to our lives. This will ensure that God’s Word directs our footsteps.
Today’s Scripture Verses:
Psalm 119:133 - “Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.”
Psalm 119:105 - “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”
Hebrews 12:1 - “Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us…”
Proverbs 14:12 - “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”
