You Can Get There From Here

A few weeks ago, I made reference to mapping and using a compass to find a way. If we know how to use the tools available, we can always find a way. I teach map and compass and encourage people to not only learn how to use these tools but to master them. This means that we need to practice and use the skills on a regular basis to stay sharp. Years ago, I learned map and compass in school but did not use it for years. When I joined the military, I was re-introduced to these skills and it did not take long to catch on again. The skills learned were still there, they just needed to be awakened. The military then showed myself and others in our troop how to take the next step, mapping in the dark. Last year, I took another course and one of the main focuses was learning to teach others how to navigate using map and compasses in the daylight and in the dark. When we learn, practice and utilize the gifts and talents we learn on a consistent basis, we can get there from here.

Consider the Word of God. There are those who were introduced to the Word in their youth and, as time and life got more hectic, many tended to lose focus on their early teachings but this is not the end of the story. There are a great many things we learn when we are young and when the time comes to dig deep into faith, many of the early teachings are awakened. God has given us the map, His Word. The Scriptures can solve so many problems and answer so many questions, in fact many of the ways we address situations are based on Biblical principles but we call it something else now. The lessons we learned are not simple lines on the road that are completely worn away over time but rather they are the bedrock upon which we build the road. There is always an opportunity to pass along the wisdom we learned in the past so that our children and our children’s children will never forget the real Truth. We can get there from here. There is only one Truth, only one Way and His name is Jehovah Jireh, God will provide.

This Sunday, we gather once again to celebrate the giver of life, the King of all kings. We look to the Word (Ps 119:33-40) and give thanks that He gives us a road map to His Glorious Kingdom. We invite you to join us if you can at 10:30 MST on Sunday or watch live online on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/MainAvenueFellowship/ ) or view it afterwards on our website (www.mainavefellowship.blogspot.ca).
