GOD'S TRUE NORTH
A compass needle shows a northerly direction but does not accurately point to the unwavering location of true north, Earth's geographic North Pole.
It is the magnetic North Pole that attracts the compass needle, but that Pole's position slowly changes and is now moving toward Siberia.
A sextant is a navigational device that shows true north by looking to the position of the sun and stars, not influenced by magnetic pull.
"I lift my eyes to you, O God, enthroned in heaven." Psalm 123:1
When we fix our eyes upon Jesus, who is the same yesterday and today and forever, we can steer to a true course, not so influenced by the changing pull of wordly matters.
