THE T
SOWER
Getting lost is something
that comes naturally to
me. At times I feel as
though I was bom with no
sense of direction or the
ability to use a compass.
Once, while driving my sons to a birthday party, they
could sense I didn’t know where I was going. As I looked at
the slip of paper in my hand that contained directions and
an address, and looked from side to side at a four-way stop
sign, not knowing what to do next, my eldest son said, “Are
we lost yet, Dad?” He knew if I wasn’t I soon would be. His
confidence was inspiring!
Fortunately, a police officer on a motorcycle saw me looking
at the piece of paper and offered to help me. With
compassion he asked, “May I help you, Sir?” Of course I
said, “Yes,” and with a great sign of relief gave him the
address of the party. He gave me careful and complete
instructions. Then, looking at me and realizing I had no idea
what he was talking about said with great compassion, “Never
mind. Follow me, I’ll get you there.”
And it worked. In a few moments I looked at the name and
address on the mail box and knew that I had arrived at my
destination safely.
In the maze of life with its constant confusion and complex
choices we often need help. David said, “I cling to You; Your
right hand upholds me.” Jesus, realizing our lost condition
said, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. Follow me.”
God keeps those safe who follow His directions.
