All wise Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ powerful Name, thank you for the illustration about the functioning of a compass and Your Word. Just like a compass always leads to true North, Your Word always leads to truth and the right direction. John 17:17 “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” Direct me to use Your Word the same way I use a compass: to fully trust in its accuracy and not ignore it to go my own way. Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.”

Show me how, just as I need to be obedient to follow the directions a compass gives, to be obedient to what Your Word tells me. Proverbs 3:6 “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Forgive me for the times I do not daily follow Your compass (the Bible) by storing Your Word in my heart and mind as a deterrent to sin. Keep reminding me that Your Word, the Bible, is the only sure guide for living a pure life.

Thank you for expressing in Proverbs 3:1-2 that following Your compass (Your Word) will make life better and more peaceful. “My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commands; for length of days and long life and peace they will add to you.” It is a blessing to know that while a physical compass can break and give wrong directions, You and Your Word are infallible. Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.“

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
