GOD'S GPS

I just had a visit from a grand daughter

and her husband.  Her husband had never

been in this state before.  They flew in and

rented a car to get around in

Her husband is a computer programer

or something that I do not understand.

They rented a car with a computer screen

in the dash and he had a hand held device

that he punched numbers or something 

into.

What amazed me was the way the information

he needed to drive to any place was on the 

screen for him to follow.  I live here.  I have 

been to all the places they were going and knew

my way around.  But that GPS thing knew the

area better than I did.  It could tell how many

miles to the next turn.  Then when less that a

mile, even how may feet to the next turn.

He had never been here before.  But by 

following the instructions on that screen

he got around just a well as myself who

has been here about fifty years.

Our lives are much like his visit.  We have

never been here before and we need directions

on how to travel through this life.  God gave

us that information we need for this life.  It

is called the "Holy Bible".  We can follow His

instructions and arrive safely at our destination.

Or, we can ignore His instructions and destroy

ourselves.

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."

(Proverbs 3:5,6 NLT)
