Lifes Map

I was up the mountains on Friday with a good friend, we done 5 peaks, walked miles and sweat buckets but it was great. As we climbed on Friday we soon ran into a mist which we remained in most of the way around the peaks. It meant we saw nothing of the scenery and often there would be little breaks of light which would remind us of the granduer of where we were. As we came down the Hares Gap all of a sudden a cliff face appeared to our left, I remember saying "Wow Dave look at that". The fact was it was always there, it just became visible as the mist cleared and I focused.
It Reminds me of the journey of life, there are those times that it becomes misty and your not sure where you are going, you can't find an answer or maybe you can't even find God at present. This dosn't mean He's not there actually I've found the opposite to be true. I was told lately of a climber who walked of a cliff edge in the mist and lost his life. We talked on Friday of the importance of compass and map, which we both had. It was vital to our safety that we paid close attention to our maps, sometimes stopping to examine our route.
Can I stress the importance of your LIFES MAP, Gods Word, especially in misty conditions. It could save your live!
