The Best Map
Ikaw ang aking Diyos, ako ay turuan na aking masunod ang iyong kalooban; ang Espiritu mo’y maging aking tanglaw sa aking paglalakad sa ligtas na daan.
Awit 143:10
Mula sa probinsya, lumuwas si Jill papunta sa Divisoria. Second time pa lang niyang pumunta dito kaya pagbaba niya ng bus, hindi niya maalala ang direction patungo sa lugar na pupuntahan niya. Sinubukan niyang magtanong sa mga dumadaan, pero magkakaiba sila ng sinasabi kaya lalong nalito si Jill. Saka niya naisipang pumasok sa isang restaurant at tingnan ang kanyang cellphone. She opened the map app to check where she is heading.
Have you been lost? Aside from literally getting lost in the street, we also sometimes get lost in life. There are times when we feel so confident in solving life’s problems. Pero may point na nalilito rin tayo. We feel lost and confused. Minsan naman, we are just so sure about where we are heading in life. Then the next day, gigising tayo asking ourselves, Am I really fulfilling my purpose?
May tendency tayong magtanong-tanong sa mga taong may parehong experience para humingi ng advice. But everything still doesn’t make any sense. Not until we take the time to pause and ask God kung saan ang tamang daan.
In moments like this, we can just be honest with God about how we feel. Hindi tayo iju-judge ni God na “mahina ang faith” just because we feel lost. This just goes to show that we really need the Lord in our lives. Kung nagagawa nating magtiwala sa map apps natin sa cellphone kapag naliligaw tayo, how much more si God na ever reliable guide natin. Siya ang ating tanglaw sa ating paglalakad sa ligtas na daan.
LET’S PRAY
Panginoon, salamat po for reminding me that I can be honest with you. Right now, I just feel so lost. Would You please lead me to the right way? I ask for peace that passes all understanding that I may clearly hear from You. Amen.
