| Dear Young Christian: |
| As I write this calendar page, my wife and I are visiting in London, England. Yesterday, it was brought to my attention that the motto on the coat of arms for the city is, “Domine dirige nos.” Translated it means, “Lord, Guide Us.” What an interesting motto for a city with a population of almost nine million people. Yet, I wonder how many of its residence really know what the Latin translation says. |
| It would be good for all of us, young and old, if this were our motto as well. From the time Saul of Tarsus was saved on the way to Damascus until he laid down his life as a martyr for Christ, this was his motto. On realizing who was speaking to him from heaven that day, he immediately asked, “Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do” (Acts 9:6)? If we have that same desire of heart and soul then the Lord wants to guide us step-by-step. Just as He said to Saul, “Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do” (Acts 9:6), so He will direct us too. Let’s make the city of London’s motto our motto as well. |
