God's GPS

Hebrews 13:20-21 are two verses that give me great encouragement,

Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

These verses teach us that God is working in us all the time to bring us to maturity—our destiny in Christ.

A friend of mine shared a brilliant illustration of this one time. He likened God’s guidance to that of the Global Positioning System (GPS), one of those systems they now have in cars that guides you to your destination.

A GPS system uses a satellite to give an aerial view, and its sole function is to get you to your destination, your “destiny.”

As you travel to your destination, you have a map on the screen, and this little annoying voice talking to you through the whole trip, “Left turn a quarter mile ahead; left turn 150 feet ahead; left turn 50 feet ahead.”

If you miss your turn, it immediately computes a new course for you so you can get back to where you are supposed to be. And if you mess up on those directions, it then computes another new course.

In the same way, God has a destiny for us to fulfill, something that fits into His great master plan. By His grace, He is guiding us all the way, even when we get off track. God just readjusts and says, “This is the next thing you need to do to get back into My plan.”

Through His “GPS,” He is always working to get us where we need to be. Praise God!
