Got GPS? (God’s Perfect Solutions)

There is a plethora (I just learned that word) of GPS devices available in the market place today – cell phones, hand-held units, marine, aircraft and those more familiar to us RVers (the walking/car/biking/truck combination models).

Like you, we use our find-a-campground/resort-across-America road atlas to get a general overview of the area in which we are planning to travel. But if you’re like Erika and me (Seniors), we usually pull out the magnifying glass to identify and navigate the tiny side-roads sprouting from the national and state highways. We need a more detailed understanding of where we’ll drive our motor home without regret.

On the other hand, a GPS streamlines that process simply by entering the address and pressing the “Go” icon. By setting the correct parameters for your vehicle (type, avoidances, detailed view, etc), the GPS provides pre-programed best routes which generally result in less confusion and – at times – even less conflict! You know exactly what I mean, don’t you?

Consider this: invest in a non-traditional GPS (God’s Perfect Solutions) device called the Bible that could be used to give clear direction when trying to navigate the many “life side-roads” in your life – challenges we face every day. Unlike conventional GPS devices which is limited to displaying streets and objects, God’s GPS offers guidance and solutions to real-life scenarios while providing long lasting relief from anxiety, disorientation and even relational separation. God’s GPS is never dependent upon any other power source, does not require frequent updates and usually causes you to “re-calculate” pathways on your own.

We’ve all asked ourselves or others, “What should I do next?” or “Where can I gain discerning knowledge to make the best decision?” I propose we consult God’s GPS to gain the same benefits of Jesus’ teachings, principles and wisdom that empowered the characters of Old and New Testaments to apply to their everyday life. All parables and stories of the Bible address our present-day challenges concerning issues like health (John 5:3-9), relationships (Matt 22: 37-39), finances (1Tim 6: 10)- just to name a few.

God’s Perfect Solutions can help navigate obstacles in your path by providing fuel (encouragement Psalm 37: 7), maintaining your mind’s GVWR (keeping balanced 2 Cor 13: 7) and even becoming delaminated (tempted 1 Cor 10: 13). The Bible also offers full-hook ups, a trickle charge for your battery, inverts your little energy to passionate serving, auto-levels your systems and even enables your slide-outs to expand your territory.

Here’s a tip for the next time you frequent a dump station; consider flushing all negative thoughts (temptations, anger, guilt), unacceptable actions (sins) and self-righteous attitudes (”I only depend on me”) out of your system – forever to be washed away! Then rinse thoroughly with fresh “living” water (God’s free gift of unconditional forgiveness Rev 7: 17) to begin your new life-journey using His GPS to maintain your course and direction. Sounds simple, doesn’t it?       IT IS!

In Christian-ezze that process is called “praying the sinner’s prayer”. Initially you may experience feelings of awkwardness, humiliation and even shame. But after you have sincerely turned your gaze to God through this process,  you will be overcome with the joy and a sense of peace that “surpasses all understanding” – God’s total unconditional love and forgiveness!

If you would like discover more about this simple life-changing process of beginning a new life in Jesus, please call 1- 888 NEED-HIM (633-3446) anytime – even from your cell that has a GPS in it!
