But the GPS helps only the person who believes the information and acts on it. What if a person viewed the GPS readout and said, “I can’t possibly be where this says I am?” What good would it be if a person turned off the unit, jammed it in a pocket, and headed out on his own, saying, “I know I’m going east, even if this thing says I’m going south?”
In a similar way, God’s guidance through His GPS system — the Bible, benefits us only when we trust His Word and are obedient to it. The Psalmist wrote, “The humble He guides in justice and the humble He teaches His way. All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth, to such as keep His covenant and His testimonies” (Psalm 25:9-10).
Beloved, let’s remember that guidance from above is only promised to all those who will accept God’s Word and follow His directions (Matthew 7:21; cf. Romans 6:17).
