"Lost"
BIBLE
READING: Psalm 25, 29, 33, 36, 39
It
is easy to admire Walt Disney World for the level of customer service they
provide. Whether you are a fan of the place, or the company, or not, it
is amazing how well they know customer service. In fact, they have
training seminars where they can train other businesses how to perform well
with customer service. As large as Walt Disney World is and as many
people that are there at one time, it can be easy for parents to lose
children. That can be a terrifying thing for a child (and a
parent). Imagine being lost in a large place, surrounded by strangers and
not recognizing anyone familiar. It doesn’t matter if it is the “happiest
place on earth”. That would be terrifying! However, all “cast
members” (employees) are trained to help, what they call, “Lost Parents”.
They have a specific set of guidelines that are followed in the event they find
a child with lost parents, so they may help the child find his way back to
them.
So often we’re walking along our
Christian way with God, our Father, but we may tend to wander some. Then,
we look around and we can’t find Him. We don’t know which way to
turn. We don’t know which decision to make. Neither did
David. In Psalm 23, David was talking about walking through “the valley
of the shadow of death.” But, two Psalms later, he is asking God to help
him find himself. Verse 4 and 5 say, “Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me
Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my
salvation; On you I wait all the day.” Even when we’re lost in this
world, and we don’t know what to do, or where to go, God knows exactly where He
is, and where we are, and has given us the ability to find our way back to Him.
