You Are The Landmark....The Question Is....Can People Determine Their Direction Based On Where You Stand?

What does it mean to be justified by faith?   Justified .... to be made righteous in the sight of God.    Righteous....to be morally right or virtuous.    Virtuous to reflect moral standards.  

So what does it mean to be made righteous, morally right, and to reflect moral standards by faith.   Your faith is what you believe.   It reflects what you put your trust and confidence in.   It is the landmark of your life.   When you think about a landmark.....you think about a feature that allows someone to establish their location.    It is a fixed marker that indicates a boundary.   

So what are your boundaries?   When people get to the landmark of your life.....what are they able to see or determine about their direction.   Are the boundaries clearly defined.   Or is there still a lot of stubble .... which makes it hard to determine which direction you are truly facing and which direction they are supposed to go?

If you are the landmark for someone else's life in the earth.......that means that the place where your faith is established can be the turning point for someone else.   It can be the place where someone else sees who God really is.   It means that the establishment of  your life holds significance in the directions that others may choose.   

Your words, your wisdom, your faith.....are tools for God.   Your trust your belief and your life are establishing factors in Christ encounters.    Do your words cause people to questions their lives?   To ask within themselves what is different and is your way better?    Does your trust show people that they can stand?   Does your life....your light....reflect the God that you say you believe.

Understand today that you are a landmark.    Let your path be clear so that others can understand the direction of the cross that leads to the presence of the Father.
