Lost???
Have you ever been lost and trying to find your way? I think at some time in our lives, we can all admit to that. I am sitting here downloading updates on my GPS system for my truck and I began to think just how nice it makes finding your way around. Wouldn't it be nice if we had a "Spiritual Positioning System" (SPS)? But then I thought about it a little bit more, and we really do have this! We actually have a map/guide book and a realtime life guide all at the same time! We have the Bible as our map to direct us through life, and we have the voice of the Holy Spirit directing us on a turn by turn basis, just like a GPS would. So many times we don't take advantage of these free gifts from God, and we try to navigate this life on our own power...(which we always find out is a big mistake when we make a mess of it!) I would like to encourage you all this morning by saying... If you have been trying to navigate this life alone, then you might want to consult the map book (Bible). There is always a set of directions to take you from where you are to where you are supposed to be! Also, listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit trying to guide you! We have a loving God and Savior through Jesus Christ, and He desires a true relationship with you! He wants to talk to you and you to Him! He doesn't just want to be a fire insurance policy for you!!!
Proverbs 3:5-6 (New International Version)
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight
May God richly bless you as you turn to Him for direction!
