Dear Young Christian: The question is often raised, How can we tell if we are going the right direction? In the desert or at sea the stars are a reliable guide. In more populated areas, landscapes can be a help — such as rivers, mountains, and other landmarks — as long as we have a good map or GPS. In the absence of those things, with the stars overclouded, no map, or no reliable GPS, we need a good guide, and preferably one who has been that way before. Thankfully, for the journey of life, we have a sure guide in the Lord Jesus. As we move along life’s road, we need to listen for His instruction. To the listening ear He says, “This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left” (Isaiah 30:21). The promise is, “In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:6). We need to pay strict attention to His instructions. This is essential to a happy, fruitful life. I trust you will have an ear tuned to His voice this week and follow in the way He has planned for your good and blessing. Your Christian Friend, Jim Hyland
