Guided By God
The oldest map ever discovered was drawn on a cay tablet in 2300 B.C.. It pictures a mountain-lined valley in Baylonia.
A thousand years later, in 1300 B.C., the Egyptians began making maps. However, the Greeks were the first to make accurate maps and the Romans used these maps to conquer nations and countries and collect taxes.
The Muslims were the next map makers but they made maps for a different purpose. Their faith demands that they face their holy city when they pray. They needed to know the location of Mecca so they could face and bow in that direction when they prayed.
The people of Europe began their map making in the Middle Ages. They made their maps by reading the Bible. However, no nation or people made maps of the world until the 1400s A.D.
Today, no one would begin journey without a map or GPS. Yet we are forever moving into the unknown and need detailed guidance and directions.
Our Lord knows our end from the very beginning. He is all wise, never failing, ever-present and constantly protecting us from harm's way. He wants to be our travel consultant on life's journey and will personally counsel us on the safest and most satisfying paths.
With God above us, the Savior beside us and the Holy Spirit within us, we will end our journey with Him.
