What GPS System Do You Use?

Are you old school and still enjoy using road maps? I certainly do! Or are you a tech savvy person who likes using the latest technology to get where you need to go? There is good and bad in both right? The road map allows you to see the overall view of where you are going and perhaps helps you pick out points of interest along the way where as the GPS can tell you exactly when you will arrive and to be cautious if there is an accident or road construction ahead. Have you ever relied on your GPS only to realize later on that it took you on a round about way or perhaps it even led you down a dirt road because it was the shortest distance?

We need to be careful of what we are relying on for direction in our lives, we need to determine the best route prior to leaving home, just like we need to put on our armor of God before we start our day!

Ephesians 6:10-11

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his might power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.

The Bible is a great GPS for our spiritual lives, I call it God Provides Salvation! The Bible is full of Gods wisdom, his guidance and directions on where you'll end up if you follow His Word. Have you heard the definition of the B.I.B.L.E = Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth! I love this meaning, have you heard of this before?

Psalm 62:1 My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him.

I have a lot of fond memories of our family vacations when I was younger, I always sat between mom & dad which meant I read the map for my dad which in turn helped give me a great sense of direction!

Just like reading the Bible the more you read it the more you will gain a sense of direction for your life!

I love this last quote how true it is!

Our challenge is to open the Bible every day so that we can gain wisdom and guidance for our journey through life! We will have a lot of valleys and hills to cross and we will even experience wrong turns from time to time. But Gods GPS will get you back on track, just stay the course and rely on his daily guidance!
