Magnetic North and the North Star
Remember the first time you were introduced to the basic, yet kind of complex, compass system? You had to understand magnetic north, the magnetic field at the top of this old planet that is absolutely reliable. Then there is that north star, the never-changing reference point in the night sky that has guided travelers for centuries. God knew that we would be a traveling people–over land, over sea, and finally, in the air. He purposefully placed the stationary star in the exact position of the universe and created a magnetic field in a perfect location. Similary, God has established Himself as the unchanging magnetic north for our life journey. He is the north star of our conscience and morality. Our compass and octant instrument is the Bible with the influence of His Holy Spirit. We are not created to live aimlessly and without direction. Our Creator gave us unfailing references. All we have to do is access them and follow them.
