The notebook …

Have you ever tried to write in a notebook that wasn’t lined?

On a few occasions, I’ve found myself in a hurry when purchasing a notebook, only to get home to discover the notebook I bought was unlined.

The problem with that, for me, is that no matter how hard I concentrate on writing my sentences in a straight line, invariably the lines begin to stray and my paragraphs become a wandering mess.

I need something — a simple line — to keep me going straight.

The same is true for my life, but in that case I need God’s Word. Psalm 119:105 is the well-known verse that says, “Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.”

No matter how hard we may try to live righteously, we lose our way without the proper guide of God’s Word for us. The Bible is like that line in a notebook that keeps us from straying all over the page.

What serves as the simple line in the journal of your life?
