Everyone has been there one way or another. Whether you were on the road, desperately searching for some familiar landmark or road sign to get you back on track, or whether a new task required a skill you had not yet acquired. We’ve all needed to ask for directions. Now, whether we sought help or chose to learn the hard way is another story entirely. But I think we can all admit we need help from time to time.
This book is a helpful guide for the next several weeks, but the Bible is the best source of guidance you will ever find. It is “useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,” (2 Timothy 3:16). In it we can find the knowledge of God, discerning wisdom, and the hope to which He has called us.
The book of Proverbs says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” In our spiritual journeys we need other Christians who have been down our road before to coach us along. Yes, God is our ultimate guide, but He uses our friends, family, and loved ones to help us grow. Just as our church mission is “Leading People to Follow Christ,” find someone who is following Christ and may be just a little further down the path than you—and do as they do. This week we’ll hear stories of how God uses prayer, wisdom, Bible study and godly counsel to guide us. So don’t be afraid to ask Him for directions.
