The Navigation

Many time we wander round the world without knowing our destination or purpose. We rely on people and so many other thing we can see, but not on God.
I was on the road trip with my husband to our son University and we need to used a navigation to get us there. The journey is about 3hours and we really needed to know our way. I have this new app Waze downloaded on my phone that it is so accurate and will take you through any back route to avoid traffic. We are so excited about it and we are rest assured that we will get to our destination without any distractions or delay. This is a manmade invention, can you imagine if we can trust God our great navigation of our life.

God will take us through different stages of challenges before we received the answer to our prayers, some answers take longer than others, for instance the route and the hours it will take you to Birmingham is not the same with Manchester, and is also depend from where you are travelling from, now l am talking about your level of faith and how far you want to trust God. We will all get to our destination if we trust God enough to take us there. I believe trusting God required relationship with him, you can not trust what you don’t believe in, l struggle with my old Navigator because it has taken me through some long route and l lost my confidence and l only used it if l don’t have a choice.

Did that sound familiar, you lost confidence in God because things did not go the way you planned it, you still go to church, pray and even fast, but in your heart of heart you have doubt and you struggle to completely trust God so you always have plan b for just in case , you know what l realize with my old Navigator , l realize l don’t fully obey the instructions or sometimes l will miss a turning and the Navigator has to recalculate the route and that add to my estimated time given to me earlier on, l will always forget that it was because l miss a turning or disobey instruction because l thought l knew the route and l will try and help my Navigator and most time it will waste my time and frustrated me. Is that familiar to you.

You did not listen to the instruction because you thought you are smart and intelligent and you can figure it out , but when everything fall down on your face, you blame God, just like the way l always blame my Navigator ,most time the machine will get frustrated on me too and it will tell me to refer to my manual . I think it’s time for us to go back into our manual, and l mean the holy bible to figure out how to live according to the instructions of God.
