In the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie Captain Jack Sparrow has a crazy compass. It shows up at various times during the movie. Typically, the compass spins around in what appears to be an unpredictable manner. Finally, Sparrow explains the usefulness of the compass. The needle does not point north. It points toward what the holder "wants" the most. In the ebb and flow of the movie, the direction of the needle changes several times. Seems to me that this compass could be really useful. What if I had a visible indicator of what happens within my heart. How often do my desires change? What do I desire the most today? Obedience? Faithfulness? An authentic relationship with God? Wisdom? Knowledge? Power? Wealth? Comfort? We seldom pause to think that God's assessment is much more accurate than Jack Sparrow's compass. God's assessment of my heart is precise.
