This morning I was led to continue my study of the word “bear”. The passage I read was of Daniel’s vision of the four beasts.
“1In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of he head as he lay in his bed. Then he wrote down the dream and told the sum of the matter.” – Daniel 7:1 (ESV)
Daniel had his dreams and visions, wrote them down, and declared them. Sounds simple enough. God gives the information needed to move forward, we only need to head in that direction.
God gave to Daniel for him to share and provide the map of how to get there. It was the role of those that heard the map to follow and get where God intended them to go.
God gives us the map and it is up to us to follow it and arrive at the predetermined destination provided by God. Our destination as I know it is the heavenly kingdom. Getting there is no small instant feat. We have to follow the map provided in God’s Word. We are not going to get there without following the map.
For each of us, we look to the same place for the map and directions, but our path is different. Our “open road” will come at different times and our “obstacles” will be different and come at different times as well. What we should be doing is simply following the map for us as laid out by God in His Word. The only way to follow the map, is to read and study it.
Are you aware of the map for your life that God has provided? What do you know about your map? Have you started in the direction God has you going as identified in His Word and on the map for your life?
