Navigating In The Pandemic

“Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going.”
~ John 8:14

“History is a guide to navigation in perilous times. History is who we are and why we are the way we are.” – David McCullough

I. Navigation depends on focus:

“True navigation begins in the human heart. It’s the most important map of all.”
– Elizabeth Kapu’uwailani Lindsey

a. Focus on priorities
b. Focus on right relationships: God, family, church, and friends

II. Navigation depends on identifying where you want to go:

a. When you are confused you will lose clarity and course.
b. Destiny must already be marked.

III. Navigation depends on the right friends or team:

“It is very difficult to teach navigation theory to someone who clings to the shore.” – Carol Bly

a. Life is not designed to navigate it alone.
b. Storms should not be navigated in isolation.

IV. Navigation depends on spending time with God
