I remembered in my army days in my vocation as a scout.
Basically a scout in the army goes behind the enemy lines to survey the enemy’s firepower and then feedback to the HQ for information. Many times, in order to get to the destination, my team has to open up the map and then use the compass to decide the best route to go to in order to reach that place. I have to confess that there are many instances where we got lost and not sure how to go back to the original route that we planned.
Sometimes, we can be like that. We have the spiritual Map in front of us but sometimes in order to get the destination, we made choices that cost us to lose our focus on God and as a result, we can get really lost in our relationship with God.
Maybe you are feeling lost in your relationship with God. You are not sure what to do with your situation. Somehow the love for God just doesn’t seem to be as passionate as before.

IGNYTE warrriors, never worry when you feel that way because that’s the best time where God can come in and intervene in your life! The bible says, Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. I want you to know no matter where you are right now with God, He will point you back to the cross! Why? It is because through the cross, we can find victory and hope. Through the cross, we know our Savior is not dead but very much alive to direct our paths so that we can be the best Christians we can be.
Proverbs 3:5 says that when we acknowledge God and not lean on our own understanding, he will direct our paths.
A jungle survivor expert will tell you that if you get lost in the wilderness, your best chance of surviving is to get close to the river bank and follow it as close as possible and most likely, you will find a community living nearby. Likewise, when you are not sure and you feel lost, get near the spiritual river bank. Start worshipping God even you don’t feel like. Start praying and commit to God again even when you feel God is far away. Start reading the bible so that you can find your direction again.

We all get lost at times in our spiritual journey with God but most importantly when you get lost, you must know what to do. Get close to the source which is Jesus! Don’t despair but always put your hope in God, He is MIGHTY TO SAVE!
