"Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors." (Psalm 119:24)

It isn't easy to make a 40-foot, 45-ton, untrained whale do what you want it to do, even if it's for its own good. That's what well-wishing friends found out when a humpback whale, affectionately named "Humphrey," made a wrong turn during his 1985 migration along the California coast. The wayward mammal became a national celebrity when he turned into San Francisco Bay, swam under the Golden Gate Bridge, and managed to navigate 70 miles up river. For more than 3 weeks Humphrey defied all efforts to get him back to salt water. Finally, marine biologists tried to lure him with the recorded sounds of feeding humpbacks. It worked. Humphrey responded to the "happy humpbacks" and followed "them" back to the Pacific. (From Bible Illustrator)

Likewise, let us follow the happy sounds of the word of God for they will lead us in the right direction.
