In New York there is Times Square or Central Park. In Paris you\u2019d know about the Eiffel Tower, in Sydney you\u2019d head for the Opera House but you do not need to end the search here. In each city there is one person you can rely on without a doubt. The one person who really knows about a city is a local taxi driver. These drivers are amazing! Not only are they normally highly entertaining in their story-telling and maybe a little over-confident in their ability to dodge pedestrians and cyclists \u2013 but they know every detail of the city. Don\u2019t worry about getting stuck in a traffic jam, these taxi drivers know exactly which detour to take so that you can reach the desired destination. They know the main routes but they also know every side road and short cut. This is often how it can work for us and the Bible. When life takes you to a new place you do not need a new word or a new verse, like the taxi driver finding your peace by meditating on a bible landmark.<\/p>\n<p>We know the major landmarks \u2013 Psalms 23, Jeremiah 29:11, Psalm 100, Matthew 5, and John 3:16,. I am sure you have your own but generally speaking, these chapters\/verses represent the believer\u2019s landmarks. The reason a taxi driver knows all the details of his city is simply because he spends all of his time there. Every day he drives around its streets. He didn\u2019t know it all when he started out but the more he drove around, the more he knew. Likewise, we can become familiar with God\u2019s word if we spend time reading and meditating on it.<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s commit before God to be taxi drivers of this great \u2018city\u2019 called the Bible. Spend time in His Word so that we can navigate all that life brings our way and we can know the greatness of our God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday, October 30 Taxi Drivers \u00a0 Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
