A scuba diver told me that he had been in water so deep and dark that it was almost impossible to keep from becoming disoriented. What a terrifying feeling\u2014being underwater, unable to see your hands in front of your face, not knowing which way is up, panic engulfing you. I asked my friend, \u201cSo what do you do?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFeel the bubbles,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cFeel the bubbles?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right. When it\u2019s pitch-black and you have no idea which way to go, you reach up with your hand and feel the bubbles. The bubbles always drift to the surface. When you can\u2019t trust your feelings or judgment, you can always trust the bubbles to get you back to the top.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sometimes in life we get disoriented and desperate. At other times, we find ourselves drifting aimlessly. God knew we would need advice and instructions about how to live. In the sixty-six books of the Bible, we have a reality library\u2014stories, letters, guidelines, and examples from God that tell us what is true and real.<\/p>\n
