I use my GPS all the time. I prefer the one on my phone because for some strange reason it works better than the one on my $35,000. car. Figure that one out? No my car is not old, nor does my GPS need updated. So, this got me thinking. Since more than once my automobile GPS has taken me either to a dead end, or the wrong way.
When you don't know your going in the wrong direction, it doesn't bother you at all to listen to the polite voice telling you left here, merge right and continue for 27 miles. However, when you know where you are headed, and can plainly see that the GPS is not taking you in that direction, it can become quite frustrating. That's why many sinners don't see they are headed in the wrong direction. They are listening to the misinformed voice.
It is much easier to turn around than to keep going in the wrong direction thinking you will find another way. Come on. We’ve all done it. “Just keep going we’re bound to see another sign.” Yes, and the sign we see may not be the one you are expecting. Not all voices have your best interest in mind. They could be programed wrong and when that happens it is inevitable that we will go the wrong way.

I remember once teaching in a Bible College. I had taught on sermon preparation. The students were to have a title, a text, three points and a closing. Part of their grade was to deliver that sermon in three minutes or less. All my students did an outstanding job. One young lady preached on "GPS" God's Plan of Salvation. Whenever I find myself fighting with my GPS I remember there truly is only one way to heaven. There may be many ways to the nearest Walmart. Most often however, the GPS gives you three routes. They are the quickest, the shortest and alternate. If only Salvation was that easy. See it's not the route that gets us messed up. It is the choices along the route.
Having a hard time making decisions? Go back to the original GPS found in the Bible. It takes all the guess work out of the way to travel this journey called life.
