Jeremiah chapter 31 verse 21 (NIV)
“Set up road signs;
put up guideposts.
Take note of the highway,
the road that you take.
Return, Virgin Israel,
return to your towns.”
People these days are looking for meaning and satisfaction in all sorts of ways. But many don’t know where to look to satisfy the longing in their hearts.
This verse reminds me of the importance of following directions when we set off on a journey and we don’t know where we’re going. We’re glad to see the signposts that keep us on the right road.
We ourselves as Christians should also act as signposts pointing others to Jesus, who is the way, the truth and the life. We don’t want them to see only us. We want them to see Jesus, and more importantly, find Him for themselves.
Dear Lord,
Thank You for making sure that there are signposts and directions to make sure that we find the true way through Christ. Help me in return to point others to You. I ask in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
