GPS......... many people know this as global position satellite. In my opinion it is not, it actually means God Please Save me. You can laugh, I laugh. Every time I have used a GPS to go somewhere I am not sure of, I usually get all turned around, or I end up in the wrong place. It can be very frustration I have to tell you! Have you ever been in that position? A place or time when you are following a direction and end up in the wrong place. It is frustrating! These are the moments when I truly need God. GPS..... God Please Save Me. There are so many times in my life when I am struggling with problems or wants and all I see is MY wants or desires. The vision that is before my eyes is what MY mind has created, not what God wants to create in my life. I continue to follow that picture, just like my GPS, and I end up lost or confused. GPS......... God Please Save me. If I had just taken the time to stop. If I had just taken the time to focus on God instead of myself. But unfortunately at that moment I felt like I knew better. The I in my life was a stronger desire then God. I was not allowing God to direct me. I thought I knew the direction myself. The right decisions, the right choice, not needing to listen to God's quiet voice. GPS........God Please Save me. I look at my GPS a little differently these days. I consider it a reminder of where my attentions should be. Instead of relying on myself or the world to direct my path I rely upon my Father. I use the five steps to hear His voice. I ask, pray, read, pray, and follow. Ask...... if there is a decision to be made or a question of what to do I ask my Father first. I have a conversation with Him, pray. I study His word for direction. And again, I have a conversation with Him, pray. And lastly, I obediently follow. There are times when God leads me to seek Biblical council, and when there are important decisions in my life I always seek council from my husband. But for the most part I first follow these five steps first the follow God's lead. Is this easy? nope! But what I can tell you is you won't get lost. The next time you climb in your car and punch in an address to your GPS, decide what it stands for in your life. Who are you following? Is it the world, global position satellite, or is it God, God Please Save me? This is an old post I found ....... The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears her down. Proverbs 14:1 Choices. In our day there are lots of choices. We can choice from hundreds if not thousands of product. Services are all around us and easliy found. So much entertainment, we should mever get bored. Choices. I have alot of "stuff" I like to do. In my free time I like to read, sew, scrapebook, knit, spedn time with my kids, just watch tv and plus much more. I also have many obligations, there is housework, yardwork, schoolowrk, work itself, and the list can go on and on. Choices. What I did not realize, thought with the word choices it also has an affect on other aspects of my life. I can choice to be anger beacuse of a problem or I can choice to work out the probelm to stop the anger. I can choice to get up happy in the morning or I can choice to start my day off complianing. I can choice to let the little things bug me or I can choice to focus on what is important. The wise woman builds her home, but with her own hoands the foolish one tears hers down. Proberbs 14:1 I choice. I choice to build my home. I choice to tear down my home. It is what I choice that determines what my life is like. For God so loved the world He sent His only son to I have chosen to accept the gift of love God has given. I chochoice to accept Christ into my heart. I choose to follow Him instead of the world. If I have choosen to follow Him, if I have choosen to accpet God's love, then I should be willing and choose to love my family as God loves me. The wise woman builds her home, but with her won hands foolish one tears hers down. Proverbs 14:1 Just like I have a choice to love God and accept Christ I have a choice with my family. I can lift and build up my home with love or I can tear it down iwth the epxections of the world. I can love my family with all their human faults or I can become caught up with what the world says is important. God id not promise that everything would be perfect. He promised he loved us. He promised to support us. It is our choice to accept his fit. It is our choice to love the world has he loved it, faults and all. For today what do I choice? Will I build up my home with love and understanding or will I tear it down? Am I going to start of my day with expectations or a note of love from God or the selfish deisres of what the wor |
