A map for the road, but I also need a compass

Life can be described in many ways, like a road, like the circus, like a test, like a game and so on. But what's always true is that we all need a map that shows us how we best can live our lives. And I don't just wanna survive life, I wanna live out- and in- the life that is inside of me- God in me!
A map for the road...what is our map as believers?? You are right, the word of God!!! (ten points for you!! lol) In His word He tells us who He is, how much He loves us and how He sees at us, He tells us how to live, what He has made ready for us, What He wants for our lives, how were gonna live lives that pleases Him and brings Him joy and honor!
But, sometimes it's kinda hard to get what I need from the word....someone experienced that??? (yep.. I guessed so...) I see the words but that is just what they are, words... I need revelation!!!
God hasn't just given us a map, He also gave us what we can describe as a compass. If you're map gonna be useful for you, you need a compass!! So with the word of God- if it's gonna be useful for us and bring wisdom, revelation, strength, comfort...into our lives- we need the Holy Spirit as our compass. We need Him to show us what's the answer for this exact situation, we need Him to reveal truth and wisdom, we need Him so the words can go from our heads to our hearts. THEN, they can be useful and give life and guidelines!
Don't forget your map and compass in life!! He's already made it ready for you, use it! Blessings!!
I fully agree with You when You say that You don't just want to survive, but to live Your life with God.<br />
It's a good input for my faith<br />
Thank You!
