Going On A Journey, And Not Reading The Map.

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
In his inaugural address, the President, mentioned that we are on a journey. A journey that will involve a lot of challenges to face. And the key to meeting those challenges, is that we as a nation, are to face them together. I agree with that message. But I also see us as a people, who are going on a journey, but refusing to read the map.
The map illustrates the Word of God.
The Apostle Paul told Timothy that the Word of God was profitable for:
Doctrine (What is right)
Reproof (What is not right)
Correction (How to get right)
Instruction in righteousness (How to stay right)
It is interesting to me, how we can mention God's name, but at the same time, refuse to accept and live out the principles He has placed before us, in His Word. The feeling is clear to me, that as a nation we do not want to be "Under God" any longer. But the farther we go in NOT being "Under God", the more sorrow and destruction we will find. Is this what we want as a nation?
God is more than just a mention of His name. He is our divine parent, who knows what is best for us. He knows the way that we should go.
I encourage  us, as citizens of this great nation. Let's not go on our journey, without reading the map of God's Word. Because if we do, we will not like the places, we will end up! GP
