On one of our trips to Iowa one summer Dave asked me to direct him through Des Moines. We had been there the summer before and knew if we took one road it would take us right down through town. We had been told that there was a way to circumvent that and it was my job to make sure we were on that road.
I hate pressure like that – we have always teased that Dave should have been a professional navigator. He loves maps, looks at them for fun. Me, on the other hand, not so much. I can read maps if I have too but I need plenty of time, no spur of the moment decisions for me. And then there’s the additional pressure of getting it wrong and having to backtrack while hearing “I thought you said this was the right way”. Yep, I hate that.
Well, we got around Des Moines successfully and didn’t end up downtown. He did question me a couple of times but I was looking at the computer screen and following the direction that I was given. Thank God for GPS.
Have you ever been lost and not sure how to find your way? Did you use GPS?
For those of us who have been lost in life I have good news. There is a GPS system that you can rely on completely. It doesn’t need to be updated for the newly developed roads and it won’t drain the battery on your phone or lose connection. It’s always right on and the voice that dictates the proper directions is soothing and never intrusive.
GPS – GOD’S PLAN of SALVATION
We all start out lost; not having any direction in our lives – badly in need of the only perfect solution. GPS (God’s Plan of Salvation).
“Jesus answered, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. The only way to the Father is through me.” John 14:6
Anyone can have this GPS. It won’t cost you a thing because Jesus already paid the price for you.
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” John 1:12
“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved” Acts 2:21
The only installation instruction required is that you ask and you will receive.
“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” John 6:37
It is so wonderful to know that many of those reading this have received this GPS. It’s being used around the world by millions. But there are some who still haven’t applied it to daily use. Maybe they think it’s too expensive, it will cost too much. However, it’s been purchased for them, the price has been paid and now everyone can have it free of charge. God the Father is waiting with open arms to give it to all.
“Christ is the sacrifice that takes away our sins and the sins of all the world’s people.” I John 2:2
“They said to him, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved—you and all who live in your house.” Acts 16:30-31
With this GPS, God’s Plan of Salvation we’ll always be the right road!
