Lost Our Way? Run Faster!

You've seen the programs and movies where someone loses their way, so in order to find it, they run faster and faster only to find they are hopelessly lost.  Yes, I can hear almost every Bride now rolling their eyes because their husbands refuse to ask for directions, they will turn the radio down so they can search for where they are supposed to go.  Thank goodness for GPS, right?  Not so much!  Last time I used my GPS to find a location, it kept taking me in circles.  I finally did the most unmanly thing possible, I stopped to ask directions.  In two turns, I was where I needed to be.  Had I not taken the time to stop, I would be feeding into Henry Thoreau's quote: "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."

If we look at the world philosophies, we will see something that will appeal to each one of us...for a time.  Yet, world philosophies offer no lasting peace and satisfaction.  Jesus said, "I AM the way, the truth and the life."  We don't need to ask directions.  We don't need to rely on GPS.  We follow Him!
