My Mapquest/GPS epiphany

You have printed out your directions from mapquest. You have your gum, candy, coffee, soda, chips or some snack to keep you going. And your favorite songs are lined up to keep you up on your trip. After driving for about 3 hours and not seeing that 1 sign you were supposed to see, you get that gut feeling that "I think I'm lost."

I think we have all had that moment where we could feel that we were lost before it was actually confirmed. All of the sudden you are paying waaaaay closer attention to the signs you are passing. You are looking for a gas station, or some place to get your orientation. GPS is so much better to have. It is readily available and can immediatley place  you back on track.

I had this random thought today. Mapquest is like the bible. You follow it trying to recall its instructions. You start out feeling confident, but somewhere along your journey you feel lost. You look at where you are in life and you suddenly wonder "How did I get here?" We must've missed a sign, a turn or something from the Mapquest (Bible).

Mapquest is good but GPS is better. GPS is like the Holy Spirit. When he is alive inside of you, you may not know the bible forward and backwards, but the Holy Spirit is always readily available to instruct you on how to get back on track. GPS should stand for God's Powerful Spirit.

I love my GPS...never fails!
