While driving to Austin wildflower center, I punched in the address in the Global Positioning System (GPS) unit in our car and implicitly followed directions. The GPS guided us through a circuitous, bumpy road and at times we felt lost. Nonetheless, it was an extremely scenic route, that we would have completely missed, should we have taken the Highway that was kind of running parallel. My wife, Sangeetha Johnson and I enjoyed the ride. It was wonderful and we could experience and enjoy the beauty of God’s creation.
This got me thinking (yes it is one of those Mano’s Musing Moments again) and I suddenly realized that God has given us a GPS – a God Positioning System. It is the Bible. Following the directions given in the Bible implicitly will guide us through a beautiful and wonderful life, even if it seems circuitous, bumpy or we feel lost.
The Bible says in Psalm 119: 105 – that God’s word (the Bible) is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path.
Enjoy the ride, following God’s direction.
