Rerouting by GPS

 

Everybody loves technology nowadays. We can get an app on our phone for almost anything a person can possibly think of. With Global Positioning System (GPS), we can find and locate objects we’ve lost, type in a destination to receive directions to where we

want to go, the shortest route or least delays. Makes our lives simpler and easier, right?

 

Then why do we have any struggles or issues, not able to find peace or know what direction to go with our lives? As it says in Ephesians 6:12, it’s a spiritual battle not one of the flesh. For that we have to turn to a different GPS (God’s Powerful Sovereignty).

 

Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV - Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths.

 

That isn’t to say we aren’t to have wants, plans, dreams. The LORD gave us the freedom of choice for a reason. What He desires is for us to follow Him and His will, which is far better than our own. During times of trials and tribulations, all we need to do is turn to Him in prayer for guidance and rerouting to keep us on the path He has destined us for. Just a sample of verses instructing us as to such:

*Proverbs 16:9 KJV - A man’s heart deviseth his way: But the LORD directeth his steps.

*Proverbs 19:21 KJV - There are many devices in a man’s heart; Nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

*Psalm 37:5 KJV - Commit thy way unto the LORD; Trust also in him; And he shall bring it to pass.

 When we align with His will and accept His directions as necessary when we get off track, good things will happen.
