Direction

Sunrise

The basic reality of God is plain enough. Open your eyes and there it is! By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can't see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being. So nobody has a good excuse. What happened was this: People knew God perfectly well, but when they didn't treat him like God, refusing to worship him, they trivialized themselves into silliness and confusion so that there was neither sense nor direction left in their lives. They pretended to know it all, but were illiterate regarding life. They traded the glory of God who holds the whole world in his hands for cheap figurines you can buy at any roadside stand.

Without good direction, people lose their way; the more wise counsel you follow, the better your chances.

I pondered the direction of my life, and I turned to follow your laws.

God, my shepherd! I don't need a thing. You have bedded me down in lush meadows, you find me quiet pools to drink from. True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction.

What a God! His road stretches straight and smooth. Every God-direction is road-tested. Everyone who runs toward him makes it.

You were all called to travel on the same road and in the same direction, so stay together, both outwardly and inwardly. You have one Master, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who rules over all, works through all, and is present in all. Everything you are and think and do is permeated with Oneness.

Romans 1:18 Proverbs 11:14 Psalm 119:59 Psalm 23:1 Psalm 18:30 Ephesians 4:4

You are headed in the right direction when you walk with God.
