Bad Directions

One year my friends and I went to a weekend get-together with many other Christian young people who loved the Lord Jesus. It was a time of good food, fun games and other scheduled activities. One of the activities we had to do was deliver a home-cooked meal to a certain home.
Since we didn’t know the area at all, we were given directions to help us reach the home. Unfortunately, the directions were not very accurate. They eventually led us to the location we were supposed to find, but our hosts had given us wrong street names. This led to our getting lost a few times along our activity route.
This is similar to our pathway through life. Sometimes we get “help” from well-meaning friends who don’t have their facts straight. Many people think they know the way to heaven, but in reality all they have to share with us is their own personal opinion. But God’s Word is an infallible guide. It never makes a mistake. Read God’s Word and ask God to show you His way to His home in heaven. God says about His own book, “The holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 3:1515And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 3:15)). Read it today! The Lord Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me” (John 14:66Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)).
