GPS Direction
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Scripture Focus: Proverbs 3:1-8
My friend told me that they had a Global Positioning System gadget in their car set to take them to their destination. A "voice" in the box would tell them exactly what turns to make and when; all they had to do was follow the instructions. They were impressed; even the detours were captured on this thing! But as they came up on a freeway interchange, the GPS told them to go one way that he questioned. By the time he figured out the answer, he had missed the turn and went several miles out of their way before getting back in sync with the "voice."
How often this typifies our walk with God. He knows where we're going and how to get there. We listen for a while, then get sidetracked. We miss His direction, and it costs us...maybe in mileage, but often in stress, frustration, relationship agony, and regret. This beginning of a New Year is a good time to make sure we are coordinated to our heavenly Father (the GPS that stands for "God's Positioning System!), listening more carefully than ever to His voice.
Insight: Be It Resolved To Be Connected To Him, Abiding In The Threshold Of Sensitivity To His Delicate Guidance, Tuned To The Tenderness Of His Heart.
