Navigation

"And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left." Isaiah 30:21

About a week ago, my husband and I were driving to an appointment, and we decided to turn on the Navigation App in my car.  We knew the location of our destination, we were just testing out this App.  It didn't take long to realize that the automated voice giving us directions did not know which way Right and which way was Left.  When we were supposed to turn Right, the Navigator told us to turn Left.  When we were supposed to turn Left, the Navigator would tell us to turn Right.  My husband and I had a good laugh over this.

Yesterday, I didn't think it was so funny.  I had been invited to join a friend of mine and her two daughters to have lunch at a little Cafe on the University Campus, and I knew I would need help finding my destination.  I turned on the Navigation App in my car and went on my way.  Remembering that my App didn't know when to turn Right or know when to turn Left, you can imagine how soon I became lost!  I literally went around and around in circles until my friend called me to give me verbal directions over the phone!  We all had a good laugh when I finally got there!

After a very enjoyable and blessed lunch with those Dear Ladies, I got back into my car and began to drive home.  (I did not need any Navigation for that!) I began to praise the Lord for His Leadership and His Direction in my life.  I do not need to worry if my Lord will lead me in the wrong direction; when I listen for His voice, He leads me in the way I should go.

"Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared." Exodus 23:20  

I don't need a GPS to lead me in the way that I should go...
    God has a purpose and a plan for my life...
        And when I follow Him, I will reach my final destination safely...
            But that's just me!
