Trusting the GPS
Do you own a GPS (Global Positioning System) device? It is a great tool to have for the “directionally challenged.” But it seems like those times we need things most are when we leave them at home. Being lost is terrible. Once, while hunting, I (Dan) got lost in the woods at night. I got turned around, lost my sense of direction and had a hard time finding my way back. I unwittingly walked a long distance before finally making it back to base camp. It was such an unnecessary and unproductive back-and-forth trek through the woods.
The truth of God is like a modern day GPS for our spiritual walk. Paul tells the Ephesians some important truths to keep them on the road of faith. He reveals the mystery of the Gospel, in that it was made known to all people, and not just exclusively to the Jews. He points out the work of the Holy Spirit (God’s Positioning System) to give us direction and power to follow God’s will.
We realize that the coordinates of God’s love for us surpass any human knowledge and guide us in Christ. You can trust God to lead you home to heaven. This week’s stories share about how God’s guidance, His power and His salvation direct our lives.
