Good morning everyone! Had a good day yesterday. Spent the day with the family, had a meeting at church, then went and watched Misty play softball. Her team won! Luke was even cheering. We had a great time. I was thinking about something. How do you know how to get from point A to point B? I want to tell you a little nautical story and from Way of the Master that goes along with the good stuff. So, let's dig in........
That word "keepeth" in 1 John is from a word that sailors used years ago to refer to their job of staying on their course by "keeping" the stars. This did not mean, of course, that the sailor or ship would not be blown off course or that he might not over-steer. It didn't mean that he might not fall asleep at the wheel, or maybe be distracted, or fail to keep a perfect sea chart. But the goal, the desire, and the plotting principle in his life were those stars. He knew that with them he could find direction to his destination. Guy's this is the same way, John says God's commandments are to be the standard by which you and I are supposed to chart our courses in life. Let's take an inventory today......What is determining your steps? God's Word? Or your word? Have a great day, I love you, and God bless.
