I was reminded this past week that a good pilot will rely on his instruments, especially in the midst of bad weather or foggy conditions. If the instruments aren't being used, the pilot can easily get disoriented believing up is down and down is up.
What are the instruments we are using to guide our thinking, our emotions and our very will in the climate we are now presently living in. The Holy Spirit has been given to every believer in Christ to guide us in all truth and He will never speak contrary to the written word of God.
Are you and I taking time before our Lord and in His word to be guided and directed during this fog that has descended upon our nation?
A pilot who is flying in bad conditions can have certain opinions on what is going on but he/she can be misled by those opinions. It is his/her instruments that are needed. God's word is needed in a great way for the Believer to make it through this political, moral and informational fog. We become prideful and arrogant if we think for a moment we can understand and rationalize what is taking place around us without the guidance of Christ and His word to us.
Psalm 119:104-105
I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
