Sign Posts on the Journey

2 Kings 13-14; 2 Chronicles 25; 2 Timothy 3 

“…continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.”

2 Timothy 3:14, 15

When our path becomes dark and we are looking for guideposts to help us navigate, Paul’s words remind us that the lives of those who have mentored us, taught us, and shaped us, are before us on the path of discipleship in mission. We also have the Scriptures, the revelation of God’s truth, and the lives of many others who have gone before us, the great “cloud of witnesses”. Both the testimony of our mentors and Scripture points us to Jesus, our Savior, Shepherd, and friend. Jesus will guide us with his Spirit in our contribution to the bigger salvation story he is writing. Jesus will be our guide to the very end.

“Lord Jesus, I trust you and see your hand through my mentors, and your voice in the Scriptures, leading me forward, for your glory.”
