Today as I drive home from Atlanta from Josh's airborne graduation, I can't help but think about direction. the G.P.S. calls out directions "Turn left on I-85 in 1.5 miles" And I willingly obey if I don't she calls out "Recalculating" and she follows up with another set of directives. It makes life easier. But outside of my road trip, how do I know which turn to take and when to make it. I need my G.P.S. of life. God's Purpose for Success. Psalm 20:4 "May God give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed." I have to conclude that from this verse that God does want me a success. That's reassuring at this juncture of my life. I feel like I have no plan and I am not a success. But God does promise to guide us to be an everlasting G.P.S. "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye" Psalm 32:8 I'm also reassured through the fact that God will teach me and He will also give me the skills needed to succeed. "May the God of peace equip you with everything good that you may do His will, through Christ Jesus, to whom be glory forever and ever." Hebrews 13:20-21 God has given me the free will to choose any direction I want, but as I turn closer to His direction and His will then I will be more equipped to be a success in my life. Proverbs 3:5-6 has been quoted so often among Christians that to me it almost seems cliche, but the truth is there. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do and He will show you which path to take."
If I turn down the radio in my car, I can listen to the G.P.S. tell me where I need to go. So, it is with God if I turn down the busyness of my life I can hear the voice of Him saying "Recalculating" Then I can follow His direction.
