Psalm 119:105, "Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. (NKJV)

Unfortunately there are many people in our world who are living shipwrecked lives because of a defective compass.   The Bible which is the Word of God is the only reliable spiritual compass that we can count on for accurate and precise directions that enable us to navigate the treacherous waters of everyday life with confidence.  Each of us needs to remember the words of Paul in Romans 10:17, “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.”

The enemy of your soul and my soul does not want me to trust the Word of God.   We can always count on what it says.   The enemy seeks to create an environment in which we are constantly doubting God.   When a storm of a life hits, why do we tend to turn to fear instead of faith?   It is during those moments that we take a fresh look at our “spiritual compass” and realize that the Word of God will lead us through the storm.

You may have heard the familiar old Chinese saying, “There is a good dog and a bad dog fighting within each of us.   The one that is going to win is the one we feed the most.”   The same is true when it comes to faith and doubt. We have to ask ourselves this question today; "What am I feeding my soul?" We must be careful to feed our souls the Word of God and allow the Word of God to direct our path and direct the daily decisions that we make.
