Well I suppose, if you are lost, a map wouldn’t help. You would have to know where you are on the map to see a way out – and you’re lost! A compass would be of great help. A cell phone with a cell signal would probably be the best. And a flare to shoot up when a plane or helicopter flies near. I’ve felt lost many times in my life. Pretty much every time it was me that wandered off somewhere that I didn’t belong. That’s how livestock get lost….going after that next stretch where the grass is greener. And the next one. When lost – it’s probably good not having brought anyone with you. When I look back on my life and those times I felt lost – God was using the experience to build up endurance in me and trust toward Him. I always remember when I was lost and I try my hardest not to wander where I don’t belong.
