GPS

Dan and I are saving for a GPS. We always try to go to all the electronic stores on "Black Friday" (the day after Thanksgiving), to get some good deals. It is a family event and we will go to stand in lines as early as 1:00 or 2:00 Friday morning. We bring our dvd player w/dvd's of course, music, food and some hot drink. Bundled up and ready to brave the cold we all talk, laugh, and discuss our future "cheap finds" with excitement and anticipation. Dan has been checking out which brand of GPS is the best so we can be confident in our purchase and also we want it to have a good reputation of getting us where we would need to go. As I am doing the budgeting for this it dawned on me that we are purchasing a Global Positioning System. Wow, think about that for a moment. Those of us who have Jesus Christ in our lives have the ultimate Global Positioning System and it doesn't cost us a thing or does it. I truly believe in these last days that we will have to navigate the grey that is all around us through the head lights of the Holy Spirit and the vehicle of God's Word. Matthew 24 :9 tells us, "Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me." That sounds like it will cost us "big", are we ready to pay that price? I am very confident in the Global Positioning that I bought into by faith and I know that He will always put me in the right direction if I am willing to listen to Him. Also, as Christian Believers we need the Lord's direction in this election, so vote your position in Christ.
