Where to Begin?

Have you ever gone down a unfamiliar road? Remember that first time? You slow down. You crane and strain to see a number on a house or mailbox. Until you know the way or are guided by someone who does, it's easy to be hesitant. It's easy to doubt yourself. Do I have the correct address? Have I driven too far? Have I driven far enough?

I know as I visit members of the church Mapquest and other navigational helps don't always bring me to my desired destination. When those maps were written not all the information was available.

Our spiritual life can sometimes use navigational help. Thankfully, the scriptures are a sure guide for us to follow. They have all the imbedded information we need and their directions are never out of date. Psalm 19: 7-11 describes the character of God's word this way. "The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever. The ordinances of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than glod, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them is great reward."

Your Daily Grace is written to get you up to speed with God. Every day I hope you will be directed and guided by its reflections of life and scripture to recognize the way God always works and find yourself Moving at the Speed of Grace!

Yours in having an unavoidable experience of Jesus,
