which
do you use the most???
Our good Christian friend, Beverly Mills
Engelhardt, recently sent a writing from a pastor I had heard of years ago
through Michael Wells…Bill Loveless, Boerne, TX. Bill’s writing had given a picture and
discussion of life being more like using Mapquest (which is usually used to tell
you a “route” to take to get to a place) or GPS (which give you a location of a place on a map) for directions in life. It is a good devotional. However, as I recently posted, our friend in
Pennsylvania, Tom Hagen, whom God gave the idea of JPS – Jesus Positioning
System – speaks of how He sees Jesus putting him in the right place at the
right time, all the time. Beautiful!
Yes, it is practical for Believers to use the
technology of GPS or Mapquest (or, any other map technology…they are phenomenal,
aren’t they?!?) to navigate from Point A to Point B, or to locate some
business/point on a map that we are interested in.
BUT, the bigger question is this: WHY are we looking for a particular
spot or business? WHY do we want to know
the “way” to somewhere on the map? The “WHY”
is because of The WAY…our Lord Jesus Christ.
He knows WHY He wants us to be someplace, WHERE that someplace is that He
wants us to be, WHEN He wants us to be there, HOW we are to get there, and WHAT
He wants to do through us at that particular someplace. WOW!
Check out Proverbs 3:5-6 and 16:9 for
clarification of WHO is determining the “why, where, when, how, and what”…and
IS The Real Way. Need more “proof”? Here’s a couple of instances in history. Check out the stories in Genesis ch.37 thru ch.50,
culminating with verses 50:19-20, AND Acts ch.16, particularly vs. 6-11.
GPS & Mapquest are good. Nothing beats JPS. Well, amen!
