Life Is a Journey

“He brought his people out like a flock; he led them like sheep through the desert. He guided them safely, so they were unafraid.” (Psalm 78:52-53)
Scripture Focus: Psalm 78:51-55

Traveling in the family car or van has taken a dramatic turn for the better in recent years. Gone are the days of crisscrossing the country on narrow, winding roads. On interstates we can drive swiftly on mostly straight roads. Air conditioning and efficient heaters keep us comfortable and the kids stay happy with DVD players, headsets, and hand-held video games. Thanks to GPS and Internet maps, we don’t even have to stop to ask for directions.

Of course, long-distance, over-the-road travel isn’t perfect. But in spite of the risks and inconveniences, we take to the open road.

Psalm 78 describes the Israelites’ long journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. They encountered obstacles and fierce opposition along the way, but the Lord guided and protected them. He still guides and protects His people in their journey through life. If we follow Him closely, we can surmount every obstacle, subdue every fear, and even enjoy the trip.

Insight: GPS is available for our journey through life. (GPS: God is our Protector and Shepherd) Let’s trust Him to lead us wherever He chooses.
