Greetings and best wishes to you, and your loved ones, in the New Year!
I've been teaching an adult study class, "To Know My Bible - 101", and realize how much God must love stories. The Bible revolves around stories and Jesus was a master story teller.
The story of Jacob, in Genesis, the first book of the Bible, tells about a spiritual traveler. Like all of us, Jacob was flawed. He tricked his brother Esau, and deceived his father, Isaac, and then ran away from home.
Many years later, Jacob decided to return home. Enroute he had an experience that convinced him of God's presence. After searching his soul - his authentic inner self - he was faced with a crucial question: "Am I traveling in the right direction?"
All of us need to ask that question for ourselves. I believe "God is with us", and to determine the right direction for our travel into the time ahead is to treat others the way we want to be treated.
Sounds simple, but it's not always easy, yet it's worth an effort.
Happy traveling in the right direction in the New Year!
Richard
