Ship’s navigators have used the sextant for navigation for hundreds of years. By measuring the angle of the sun to the horizon during the day one can calculate their latitude. Polaris, the North Star, has also been a navigational guide for thousands of years. Why? Because it basically is opposite the northern axis of the earth and is at the center of celestial circular movement. If you know where north is you now know where the other directions are. But how do you know where your spirit is and where is it going? The straight line from Egypt to the promised land was a relatively short route going through Palestine. God didn’t take them on the short route….every time they complained he lengthened the trip until it lasted forty years. Don’t take that long to find your true destination – heaven. God has already prepared a home for you – a real home. But in the meantime, enjoy being in His kingdom on earth right now, led by the Holy Spirit, our Comforter and our Advocate. When God is ready for you to come to His home, He will call you. Until then enjoy the fruit of the Spirit here on earth.
