Morgan sees the center of the compass as a deep conviction of God's sovereignty. All agreed knowing that the Lord is in control....not us! Morgan also espouses that the circumfrance of the compass is wholehearted willingness. In the book of Joshua we have been encouraged to meditate on Scripture day and night, standing on the promise that we can be strong and courageous, knowing "the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:8-9)
Standing on God's promise of His Presence has sustained us .
For those directionally challenged, a visual is often helpful!
N= Nearness aka his Presence (Morgan, p.53)
S= Scripture leads to divine truth (IBID, 53)
E=Entrusting every detail to the One who knows the path He has uniquely for us
W=Wise plans, a watchful heart & waiting on Him; result=His way to move forward
So grateful for believers together......who desire to follow God's directions to the path of righteousness which is found in Christ alone. (Acts 4:12)
As we seek to move forward in life may we all clearly hear His voice saying, "This is the way; walk in it." (Isaiah 30:21)
Thank you for distilling this down even further than Robert Morgan did! I will never look at a compás in the same way again!
