Have you ever found yourself in a strange place without a map? That happened to ma a few days ago. I was in Washington State doing seminars when I crossed the state line into Idaho and realized I had failed to bring an Idaho map. Since I’m too cheap to buy an Idaho map when I already had one at home, I spent the next few hours with a sense of uncertainty not being able to see exactly where I was heading.
Many people go through life every day with that feeling of uncertainty because they haven’t taken time to map out where it is they want to go. Every night before going to bed, try mapping out the following work day. You’ll find that when you arrive at work with a map, you have a greater ability to resist the trivial demands of the moment, and concentrate on the most important thing that God really wants you to accomplish.
Remember, using a map will redeem the time.
