Global Positioning System (GPS) is a marvelous piece of technology and is indispensible for many. With its advent, map sales have plummeted, men no longer have to ask for directions at the gas station and hours of frustration have been eliminated by those who were not born with "internal" navigation.
With a touch of a button, we can now find the closest Starbucks, gas station, or shopping outlet. Completely reliant upon it we can find ourselves guided by the car icon, unaware of how we got to where we are fully trusting upon the GPS to not turn us down a wrong turn, or drive towards oncoming traffic.
A relationship with Christ is much like a GPS, and you can think of the Holy Spirit as the God Positioning System. When relying upon Him for direction in your life, giving full reliance upon Him you will begin to forget how you got to the wondrous places you have been. You will fully trust in where He is leading you, and understand that His path is the best for you. Unlike your car GPS however, God won’t always take you the "fastest route" but will take you the "scenic", "shortest", "least traveled", or the dreaded "long route." Despite the direction He leads, you can be rest assured it is the road He has laid for you and feel the confidence that His map for your life is perfect…if you will just yield.
