There are many different kinds of maps of the United States. One charts topography, showing mountain ranges and plains. Another shows demographic regions with the highest concentration of population along the coasts and in the northeast. A meteorology map shows where the jet stream is. These maps are helpful if you’re making decisions about altitude, population density or weather movements; but if you’re looking for how to get from St. Louis to St. Paul, none of them will help. You have to read the right map!

It’s the same way when we are looking for direction in life. We need to read the right map. The Bible is God’s map. It gives lots of advice on how to drive through life, but little is said about which highways to take. God’s map is more about the way you travel than the route you take.
