A Word for the children
Do you still have Road map books in your home, or in the car ready for a journey? Roadmaps help people find their way from place to place. If you moved into a new town, you'd buy a street map to help you figure out how to get to work, school, or church. If you go on holiday, you need a map to help you get from home to the seaside or countryside, especially if this was a new place to visit.
But all these maps are now obsolete thanks to smart phones and GPS. Now almost everyone has an app on their phone that don't only give some directions, but also tells them where they are at all times.
10. Grace Mail
We also have a source in God and God's Word. And he can tell us where we need to go. What's more, God knows where we are. There's no getting lost.
God knows where we are, how far off the path we are, and what it takes to get us there, and God will never say no when we ask for help. He’ll always be there to help us find our way back.
Our Road maps may be out of date, but one thing never changes, and that's God's love for us. God has a direction and a plan for our lives. All it takes is a willing heart to follow his lead.
Ephesians 5:1
says: Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved
children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
