SAY IT AGAIN SISTAH KITTEN (textscriptz instant replay)

I mentioned a few months ago about wanting a new cellular phone and God telling me to curve my desire for a new phone at that time. Well since then I have been blessed with the phone that I wanted and let me just say, “I love it!” Of course, in the way one who likes electronic gadgets would love a new toy. Anyway, one of my favorite features on the phone is the audible GPS (Global Positioning System). I frequently use the feature to get me from point A to point B. To be honest, I have a hard time comprehending how the system works, but I know that it works!

The other day, I had to laugh at myself because I was having a conversation with “that lady” on my audible GPS who systematically tells me “Drive 1 mile to _blank_ and then turn left on _blank_.” I don’t know who that lady is and how she knows how to get me where I need to be, but I sure do listen to her. The other day I put in the address to where I was headed and the GPS took me there using a route I was not familiar with. However, I trusted her and I got there in record time. Yet once I got to a familiar area, I had the nerve to question her directions. She said “Turn right at Central” and I spoke aloud “Naw, I’ll keep straight since I know where I’m going” then I thought about it and said “Well, I’ll go your way.” That was the moment I laughed for having a conversation with an automatic system. As I was turning right on Central, I heard these words “you can trust a GPS and follow it’s directions to a final destination, but you can’t trust me and follow my directions to your destiny?”

Family, how many times have we listened to the directions of others before seeking directions from the Lord? How many times have we relied on our own understanding when in a familiar place instead of seeking the Lord for new revelation regarding that place we are in? How many times have we had the nerve to question the Lord when he instructs us to do something, say something or even go somewhere? I’ll have to frantically raise my hand in the air like the eager kid in the front of the class and shout out loud “Amen” to all three of those questions. I can surely testify that I have been guilty of them all on numerous occasions. God told the people of Israel in (Isaiah 48:17) “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go” So since we too are his children, isn’t it fair to say he’ll do the same for us? He was their GPS back then and he is still our GPS today, so let us follow the Holy One for he knows what he has in store for us and the best way for us to go in order to get there!

I have admitted that I do not comprehend how the GPS works, but that I’m willing follow its directions. Now I boldly declare that I do not know how God is working things out for my behalf. However, I do believe that He is working it out, so I will follow HIM all the way to the end of the road!! I encourage you to jump on board and let Him drive you to your destiny as well!

P.S.
GOT GOD? If you do not know God on a personal level this prayer can start your walk with him today…….
God, I am a sinner and I know I do not deserve your grace or mercy. Still, I trust you and I believe that you sent your son to earth and that he died and rose again for my sins. I thank you Lord for the personal gift of salvation. Amen.
