Luke 16:10
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.”
In yesterday’s Daily-E-Votional I talked about the old time “chuck wagon” and the cook’s responsibilities of preparing meals, cleaning, mending, and a host of other tasks that made him the most valued member of the cattle drive. One of his most vital tasks each night was to locate the Pole Star and point the wagon tongue in its direction.
Before I retire each night I go to the front door and gaze into the skies. Even here in the State of Washington, I can usually locate the Pole Star. The other stars change position during the night and throughout the year, but the good ole Pole Star is always in the same position.
It would be ridiculous for me to suggest that people will know the right direction by looking to see where our tongue is pointed, but you may make a connection. Luke 6:45 says: “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” People at least should get good directions by our talk and our walk.
Let me close by sharing what the apostle Paul shared with the church at Philippi. Philippians 4:8: “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” That is the right star to point to for those around you. Where are you pointing?
Blessings dear hearts! Walk with God today and be a blessing!
