Check Your GPS

A few men were in the wilderness with plenty of food to eat and water to drink. The men had warm clothes to protect their skin from the weather. The men were well prepared for the venture. The men had tools to hunt and knowledge of the land to scavenge and survive. It came a day when the men ventured to an area they had not seen and as the light grew dim and the darkness fell they began to panic. They were unprepared for such an event to happen. One of them was prepared with a GPS or Global Positioning System to track his way back to the destination where they had set up camp. As the group read the GPS it gave them a precise layout of the land, which in turn gave direction on what route to head based on landmarks and other terrain. The men eventually made it back safe to the correct familiar path after being lost in the wilderness.
This holds true for the Christian man as well; we have a support group within the body of Christ. Each man tends to get lost in the wilderness from time to time and it’s the duty of the prepared one to pull out his GPS or Gods Positioning System and lead the lost back to a familiar road. The Holy Spirit dwells with in us and this is our internal GPS, the bible serves as a physical GPS to direct our lives, while prayer and quite time listening to what God has for us as the third Christian GPS. Do not take lightly to the things of God, as he has stated in his word, “ask and you shall receive”. I say to you follow your GPS!
