If you are going somewhere that you have

If you are going somewhere that you have never been before you would get directions to get there.

October 8, 2025

If you are going somewhere that you have never been before you would get directions to get there. When cooking a new recipe, you follow the directions, because you know if you do the food will turn out great. When learning to dance ballet you must be taught the positions, beats, and movements, it takes time and effort. When learning to play the piano it takes time, determination and learning the keyboard that produces the beautiful sounds. To rebuild an engine you must be taught, the in and outs, so that you know where things go, thus your engine will run to perfection. To learn to read, write, and do math you must be taught. To learn to walk you first must crawl and along the way you fall, stumble and get up again. And to learn about God you must read the Bible, study, pray, and seek the Lord. Life is about learning, discovering, and adventure. It is about following the guidelines that are set before you. It is about desire and a want to learn. It is being open to new possibilities. Jeremiah 29:13 reads, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Proverbs 8:17 says, “Those who love me, I also love, and those who seek me diligently find me.” Today, let us seek the Lord with a new desire and want. God Bless. Amen.
