GPS JESUS

As I was navigating my way in the rain to a friend's house on a recent night, I was utilizing my handy dandy (sometimes) GPS on my phone. I would not be ANYWHERE without my GPS. I was thinking about Jesus as I quite often do when a realization occurred to me: Jesus is like a GPS. He does not tell you every step of your journey all at once like Mapquest. He does not give you the blue print for your life in entirety. He gives you once step at a time, one direction at a time, one instruction of guidance at a time. Once we have turned down that road that He has clearly mapped out for us, then it is time for the next step of our journey towards our destination. As human beings, we tend to over analyze everything and anything. If we had full knowledge of our consolidated life plans...we would hasten to get to the end point and miss out on important details along the way. Not to mention the fact that knowing our every move would taint our experiences with bromidic boredom. So next time we feel like we want to rush the process of our excursion, we just need to remember to sit back and enjoy the ride. We need to rest in the assurance that He is in control and will inform us of our next turn when we have completed the direction that He has given us at the present time. Let's embrace the season and step that we are in with alacrity instead of pressuring everything to jump into the next season. Let's also remember not to get frustrated the next time that we don't know all of the in's and out's of our plans. We should be in the passenger seat to begin with anyway.
