"Sanctify them by the truth;
your word is truth." (John 17:17 NIV)
Brussels International Luchthaven (Airport) had grown
since the last time I was there. Unfortunately its added square footage had NOT
made things less confusing!
Just as we had been instructed to do, we arrived three
hours before departure. With our luggage in hand we walked all from one end of
the terminal to the other, trying to locate the Icelandic air check-in gate. But
it was to no avail.
We finally stopped and asked an agent for help, and
she pointed us at the end of one of the long rows of check-ins. But there was no
Icelandic Air sign over the check-in counter. Nope, that couldn't be the one!
Someone else advised us that passengers could not
check in until 2 hours before boarding, so we realized we had no choice but to
find a place to sit until the appropriate check-in desk became posted on the
announcement board.
The only problem was this: 90 minutes later, there was
still no mention of Icelandic Air on the announcement board!
With heavy suitcases in tow, we restarted our
scavenger hunt. I do believe we visited every part of the airport, and were even
intimately acquainted with the few available seats! We finally discovered a
check-in gate specializing in airlines not mentioned on the announcement boards.
This was our spot. The only problem was, we had just an hour left before
take-off, and the line was long! Grrr . . .
Life can be quite confusing. People offer us such
conflicting advice that we can't even make heads or tails out of it. Even trying
to sort things out ourselves can be aggravating, and sometimes even hazardous to
our health! Where can we find solid advice?
According to Jesus, Truth is found solely His Word,
the Bible.
Why is it that we tend to ignore what can help us the
most?
"But I don't know how to use it!"
This is where the Author of the Word comes in handy.
More will be said about Him in our next devotional.
Tired of being lost and being lied to?
Try the Word of God. It will be a refreshing breeze to
your soul. No need to be confused any longer!
"Where can I check my luggage?"
None is needed. Jesus provides us with all of our
necessities.
Whew! One less thing to worry about!
