One of the most intriguing jobs to me is being a tour guide. Whether you’re on a college campus, in a historical area or museum, you are an ambassador for this institution, pointing out key attractions like a walking encyclopedia. The overall impression of visitors lies in your hands, based upon the knowledge you communicate and entertainment you provide, engaging your group.
Outside of vocations, life is filled with individuals who lead you in the right direction. Coaches introduce important skills to help young people master a sport. Mentors demonstrate character, integrity and wisdom, blazing a path for others to follow. Meanwhile, teachers often mold future leaders, inspiring curious souls to chase after their dreams.
The Psalmist takes this one step further, suggesting one guide will be with you to the end, Psalm 48:14. The apostle Paul encourages his audience to look toward an altar in Athens, dedicated to an unknown God, Acts 17:22-23. Jesus discloses the identity of this eternal guide in John 16:7-13 as the Holy Spirit. As Moses once said in his farewell address, the choice is yours, Deuteronomy 30:15. Who will be your eternal guide through life? May Jesus lead you to life everlasting, 1 Timothy 2:5.
