Navigate via the Weekly Compass

I wish I could tell you that I check my compass weekly. In reality, I am not. In the hustle and bustle of life, you've got to be an exceptional human if your attention spans beyond a day. The course of life will constantly be changing, unless you can escape to another planet. You need a compass of some sort to keep you pointing at the right direction. Your checking frequency will be entirely up to you. The key point is to check where you are heading as often as you can. We all have a biological "compass" to help us point to a productive and balanced life. What compass on earth am I talking about? King Solomon, the wisest man ever lived, has the answer. In Eccelesiastes 3:11 of the Bible, he wrote: "(God) has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end." The ETERNITY set in our heart is just like the magnet of a compass, forever pointing to seek for God who has made everything appropriate in its time. Whether you like it or not, you have the tendency to worship God deep down in your heart. Can you feel your "compass" twirling inside your heart? Use it to navigate your life. Then just step back and wonder.
