This world is a dangerous place. Our society makes life complicated for all of us. Life is confusing. We contend with new experiences every day. No day has ever been like today, and tomorrow will also be unique.
Nothing remains exactly the same.
We desperately need a guide in this wilderness called life. Left to ourselves, we will wander ourselves to death. There is a reason that Psalm 23 is the best known and most popular scripture in the Bible. It tells us there is a guide. A brown landscape dominated by rugged mountains, huge boulders, and deep ravines.
