The BWCA is one of my favorite places. It is great to get away from the crowds and spend some time in the beauty of the creation. One of the things that I have learned (and relearned) is the importance of using a compass and a map. Sitting low in the water it can be difficult to determine just where you are. On a cloudy day it can be maddening to keep your sense of direction. In fact, most people discover they don't have one.
That's where the compass comes proves itself to be indispensable. By carefully studying the map and the compass, you can pick a point and head there, confident that you are going the right way. Mistrust your map, or your compass, and you will quickly become lost. Actually, I've never been lost, but I've taken a number of detours as I searched for the right way. I like to call them short cuts.
Psalm 73 is a psalm that talks about the disorientation that can occur when we take our eyes off of God. Suddenly the world around us appears alluring and we begin to wonder if following God is "worth it."
This week we will look at the importance of allowing God to be our compass and map as we navigate the wilderness of life.
