The thought came to me today as I was driving to a client and having to refer to a Map to get directions it was like relying on the Bible, like a map on our journey with God. Although the map is useful it isn't half as much fun as having Jesus sat next to you on the passenger seat, passing the time with you and guiding you through each twist and turn.
The Bible can map out the whole of past, present and future for us, but only Jesus, by his Spirit can engage with every step of the journey.

Seek first...
Matthew 6:33 can be looked at in a whole new light - instead of
seeking to make yourself righteous - working hard to put yourself under the lordship of Christ by rigorous spiritual discipline. Instead to look for the kingdom. See with new eyes and literally 'seek out' how God is working. The Message calls it 'steeping your life in God-reality'.
