Ever feel like no matter how hard you try, you're walking in circles? A preliminary study by European scientists says that you may be.
According to the study carried out using global positioning software, the myth that people who try to walk a straight line and find themselves going in circles is actually true.
The study was carried out by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics and published in Current Biology.
Studies of nine people walking in the desert and in a forest found that all tended to go in circles and/or veer from a straight line if there was nothing to guide their way.
Walkers were only able to walk in a straight line when they could see either the sun or the moon.
Our walk through life can be like that.
Clouds can roll in to obscure Jesus.
A health crisis.
A tough relationship.
A financial setback.
A child turning away from the faith.
A rejection.
A misunderstanding.
But even on a cloudy day the sun is still shining above the clouds.
We know it's true.
Even if we can't see it right now.
Keep walking.
Use your Bible as your compass.
Psalm 119:105 "Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path."
It'll help you see Jesus with the eyes of faith.
2 Corinthians 5:7 (ESV) "... for we walk by faith, not by sight."
God makes straight the crooked path.
Proverbs 3:6 (ESV) "In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."
We might as well practice living this way as Christ followers.
That way it'll be business as usual when we walk the streets of the New Jerusalem in the age to come.
Revelation 21:23 (ESV) "And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb."
