Labyrinths have a strong root in Greek Mythology, but their beauty & meaning draw me to a different conclusion.  Allow me to explain… the term labyrinth is often used interchangeably with maze, but modern scholars of the subject use a stricter definition. For them, a maze is a tour puzzle in the form of a complex branching passage with choices of path and direction; while a single-path labyrinth has only a single path to the center. A labyrinth has an unambiguous through-route to the center and back and is not designed to be difficult to navigate.

 Doesn’t that sound a lot like our walk with Christ and our path to Salvation? 

• There is but one way to God:  (John 14:6) Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
• We must follow the path that He lies out in front of us:  (Psalm 25:5) Take me by the hand; Lead me down the path of truth.

 Meditate on Psalm 119:105-112 while you allow your finger to trace along the smooth path etched into the cool metal toward the middle and out again…

By your words I can see where I’m going;

they throw a beam of light on my dark path.

I’ve committed myself and I’ll never turn back

from living by your righteous order.

Everything’s falling apart on me, God;

put me together again with your Word.

Festoon me with your finest sayings, God;

teach me your holy rules.

My life is as close as my own hands,

but I don’t forget what you have revealed.

The wicked do their best to throw me off track,

but I don’t swerve an inch from your course.

I inherited your book on living; it’s mine forever—

what a gift! And how happy it makes me!

I concentrate on doing exactly what you say—

I always have and always will.
