Been Wandering Lately?

Genesis 37:15 is a verse that I am so glad is in the Bible. It speaks of Joseph looking for his brothers (who will soon throw him in a well, and then sell him as a slave - maybe not his happiest trip). This is the great-grandson of the amazing Abraham... and he is destined to be the 2nd most powerful man in the most powerful nation of the time. But at this point, the Scripture says this young man on a mission (sent and instructed by his father Jacob) was "wandering in a field." A stranger found him, and learning of his quest, guided him on his way.
But it helps me to know (on days I'm unsure) that someone else (recorded in the Bible!!) has gotten completely lost, turned around, with no sense of correct direction... and has found themselves also "wandering in a field." NASB
