Verse of the Day - Psalm 73:24

You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny. ~ Psalm 73:24 (NLT)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Technology is truly amazing to me. Now we have global positioning system (GPS) units in cars that tell us where we are and how to get where we're going. Before you know it, you'll be able to sit back, let the car drive for you, while you get a massage and a manicure!...(please sign me up for that model!)

Our God is like our GPS, only better, because He not only gives us directions on "left, right, u-turn", He offers the arms of a Father when we need comfort, and bandages our wounds like an ER doctor. He's not just an electronic voice...He's a person, and He loves us deeply. And His heart's desire is to guide us like a father until we reach our destination: His waiting arms.

A GPS unit only works if: 1) you turn it on, and 2) you listen to what it says. Hmm...

What do you have turned on in your life to help you live a godly life? Friends? Books? Talk shows? Make sure that you test the directions you get against the Word of God, because He is the only One who knows where you're going and how best to get you there. And after you are tuned in to God, be sure to pay attention and go and do what He says. He doesn't set up roadblocks and one-ways for nothin', ya know.

Love,
Joelene

My dad, who grew up in a lower-tech age, sometimes compares God to a radio transmitter. God's signal is always broadcasting, but to hear it we have to turn on our radio and tune in to the correct frequency.
