The Map of God's Word
How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.
Psalm 119:9
Recommended Reading
Psalm 119:9-11
A recent book about backpacking in Canada warns that some maps are hastily printed without taking time to insure the accuracy of the topographical data. One map was printed so quickly that one of its panels was produced upside down and backwards. Such mistakes can be tragic. Over the past three decades, scores of people have perished because of faulty maps.
When it comes to traveling the road of life and the pathway into the future, we need to be able to trust our map. In The Message, Eugene Peterson paraphrases Psalm 119:9 like this: "How can a young person live a clean life? By carefully reading the map of Your Word."
The Bible maps out the future of planet earth, warning us of a coming Rapture, Tribulation, judgment day, and eternal state. The same Map also shows us what paths to follow in our daily conduct and service. When you open your Bible, you don't have to worry about errors or omissions. Every word is trustworthy. Every chapter will lead you safely home.
We are earthly pilgrims on our way home to heaven. But since we have never been there, we must trust our sense of direction to the map of Scripture.
