My husband and I recently had the opportunity to enjoy a week-end away. We had such a wonderful time spending time together and going on an adventure. One thing that we did this past week-end that we've never done before was to use a GPS. I know it sounds crazy in today's world that we have never used one, but I actually prefer a map that I can see the whole picture and know where we are going. The more we used it we realized why people like them, it can get you back on the right road if you make a wrong turn, it tells you how fast you are going or how fast you should be going, it tells you of areas ahead that might be area of slow down due to construction or other traffic tie ups.
It made me think about Who our real GPS is. I am reminded of Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. We are not shown the whole "map", just the turn or step we are to take next and usually that information is not given until it is time to turn. And then, there are those times when we need to be "re-directed" because we have made a wrong turn knowingly or not.
One thing that is different is the fact that you program the GPS to where you want to go, but God has the plan and everything is already programmed, He knows where you are going. It's up to us to follow when He tells us to turn and to turn the right way. It's always interesting to me how He gives you just enough information to make the next step. I'm glad that we can't always see everything that is ahead, there are times that I think we would be overwhelmed.
So what's you next step or turn, have you been given the signal to make a move? Are you hearing the voice telling you which way to go?
