What is your reference point? (One degree off-course)

In aviation, flying off course by only one degree results in missing the tar­get land­ing spot by 90 feet for every mile. That translates to approx. one mile off tar­get for every sixty miles flown. Let’s say you start your trip at the equa­tor and fly around the earth, one degree off would land you almost 425 miles off target. Just as it is hard to rec­og­nize being one degree off while fly­ing at altitude, it is just as hard to real­ize “one-degree deviations” in our personal lives. What are we willing to accept in our lives? What is our tol­er­ance for being off course just a little? Stray­ing off course in life doesn’t have to result in a catastrophic fail­ure. Any­one can make in-flight adjust­ments along the way of life as long as we have an accurate reference point. Do you have a flight plan? If so, are you certain your reference point is accurate?....“God’s word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path”.
