The only way to navigate life’s
twists and turns
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a
light on my path. Psalm 119:105
Just before the 1988 Winter Olympics, a television
program aired that featured blind skiers being trained for slalom skiing. The
blind skiers were paired with sighted skiers and were taught how to make right
and left turns. Once they mastered that, they were taken to the slalom slope,
where their sighted partners skied beside them shouting, “Left!” and “Right!”
As they obeyed the commands, the blind skiers were
able to navigate the course and cross the finish line depending solely on the
skiers’ words. Throughout the course, they were left with the choice of either
complete trust or catastrophe.
This is a great picture of the Christian life where
this world blinds us to how we are to live. But when we, who are blinded by the
world, begin to rely on God’s Word to guide our every step, we discover that
whatever twist or turn life throws our way, we can trust the Bible for truth
and direction.
If you want to successfully navigate the course of
life, lean on God’s Word. Read it daily for guidance and truth, and let it
illuminate your path. Because while we may be blinded by the world at times,
God’s truth knows and sees every obstacle we’ll face!
