Galway is located in western Ireland on the northern side of a huge natural port that is very important to Ireland’s shipping.
St. Nicholas Church, in the center of the city, is the oldest church in Ireland. Its church tower not only shows the church’s presence, it also provides guidance to ships’ captains as they navigate their way safely into and out of Galway Bay. For centuries this church tower shown sailors the way out or the way home again.
We all need points in our life that help us know if we are on the right course. Whether old or young, we always need God’s guiding hand to help us do the right thing. We also then need our Lord Jesus to forgive us when we fail to follow Him.
Jesus told His disciples in the Upper Room, “When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth, for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will declare to you the things that are to come.” (John 16:13)
It’s an amazing gift from God, isn’t it, to know that in a world of confusion and fear we can always count on Jesus to show us the way? We can be easily blown off course as we listen to the world’s voices. But the Holy Spirit will guide us in the Divine way if we will let Him.
Jesus gave us His Spirit to help us. We can pray to the Spirit to give us the guidance we need, today or any day. If we set our course by our Savior, the Holy Spirit will keep us on it
Dear Lord, help us follow You in all things.
