You may be culturally conditioned to wander through life as given a secular or god path to follow with a maze of decisions and actions as a directive on where to walk and turn, yet even so, there remains a strong sense of personal responsibility to take the right journey instead of just a familiar path.
As you do, you might think that moving is a sign of progress and that intent or sincerity may hopefully get you somewhere. Yet, the course could be a ‘dead end’ as constantly backtracking to find your way as spinning in circles, as when lost, in leading to such a hopeless feeling of confusion and emptiness in not being able to find the way, yet somehow knowing that there is a way, and wondering why others are going different directions as trying to find the ultimate significance of a meaningful existence or destination.
This disorientation may lead you to a pluralistic or many path view, even though, it could be an exclusive route. It may cause you to give up too soon, as the pursuit may seem endless and tiring turning you into a skeptic as seeing this meandering in life as nihilistic, being trapped in a meaningless robotic rat race or deterministic as someone’s cruel game or trick, in failing, just short of the finish. Finally, you may just settle by comforting yourself in associating with your fellow travelers who seem just as lost as you are in having companions without a real sense of direction.
However, if you persist, you must recognize, that you didn’t design the maze, as to its beginning and end (Alpha and Omega). Thus, it is essential to find the Maze Maker, in seeking Him for directions, as to where it should take you, even if it means making a detour where you never intended to go.
Consequently, by tracking the Supreme Architect, He will give you all the roadside assistance you will ever need to navigate and traverse this maze successfully, as starting with a general map, that gives basic information to get you started and then as you progress down the road of life, you will begin to recognize the maps’ landmarks as displaying the eternal plan of the Almighty Mapper, in seeing more clearly where you need to end up, as including other significant sources or references along the way.
Therefore, my friend, I can only ask you, to ask the One, to reveal more specifically the course, as a path that is eternally guided as leading to an A-mazing God who has prepared the way through the person and work of Jesus who has gone before you in making a sure path as leading to life and life more abundantly, John 10:10, Matthew 7:13-14, John 14:5-6.
