Henry Ward Beecher once said, "Sink the Bible to the bottom of the sea, and man's obligation to God would be unchanged. He would have the same path to tread, only his lamp and his guide would be gone; he would have the same voyage to make, only his compass and chart would be overboard."
I was reminded of that recently in regards to the cruise ship running aground in Italy and the disaster that followed. A deviation from the ship's charted course caused it to hit the rocks. And a deviation from the Bible's charted course for our lives can have similarly dire consequences. The Bible is the lamp and guide for our path and the compass and chart for our voyage. We dare not head off on life's journey without it.
