💭 Reflect
To be on a roadtrip with Jesus means that He is sitting next to you in the car. The best part of it all is that He knows every turn and pothole in the road. In chapter 3 of Proverbs there are road markers and signs to be followed. When you learn a new game or how to drive for instance, you know all too well how incredibly important guidelines can be.
📖 Proverbs 3:13
“Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding.”
