Orientation
In a biblical context, "orientation" can be understood as the process of aligning oneself with God's will and purpose as revealed through Scripture. It often refers to the act of determining one's spiritual direction, understanding one's identity in Christ, and living according to the principles set forth in the Bible. For instance, Proverbs 3:5-6 emphasizes the importance of trusting in the Lord and acknowledging Him in all our ways, which can be seen as a form of spiritual orientation that leads to divine guidance.Additionally, orientation can also denote the idea of being rooted and grounded in faith. Ephesians 3:17 speaks of being strengthened in the inner being, which implies a firm orientation towards Christ that allows believers to navigate life's challenges. Thus, spiritual orientation encompasses both understanding one's position in relation to God and actively seeking to live out that orientation in daily life, reflecting the teachings of Jesus and the apostles.
