Psa 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

I have lived and visited different places. I love traveling, and I enjoy learning about different cultures. I believe that we learn more about God and ourselves as we are surrounded by people of different cultures. The way that I learn about new towns or cities in which I reside, is usually by running. I am bad with directions, but once I have run a route several times, I will eventually find my way back from where I started. One of the most fearful times I had of getting lost was in Bangkok, Thailand. I had a few friends that ran with me in the mornings, while we were ministering together at a University in Bangkok. Well, one morning,no one wanted to go running. However, that did not keep me from going. We had only been in Bangkok about four days at this point. Somewhere along my run, I took a wrong turn. I kept running and realized that I was not on the right path. I felt fearful because though the Thai people were friendly, they could not speak English. I stopped at different places to ask different people where the University was located. Because of my poor pronunciation, it took me about 20 minutes to find someone who could finally point in the direction of my destination. Because I did not have a map and know the language of Thai, I was confused and lost. Eventually, with the help of someone pointing me in the right direction, I found my way back to the University and the apartment where I was staying. While I was lost, I felt nervous and unsure of myself, as well as confused.

In our walk with God, sometimes we lose our direction. We do not seek direction, and we get caught up in our circumstances and forget to pay attention to the direction in which our lives are moving. God gives us clear direction through His Word. He wants to help us as we journey through our every day. He wants us to ask Him for help when we feel lost and confused. Perhaps, you have never asked God for direction. Try it and see where you end up. I think you will find yourself in the right place.
