GPS: God's Protection System

Matthew 7:13-14 (New International Version, ©2011)The Narrow and Wide Gates    ¹³ “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. ¹⁴ But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Everybody has that one friend who lives and dies by their GPS. You can't tell them another route because they'll get upset that you lack faith in their GPS. And have you ever noticed that a GPS system - even when we choose to get off track - continues to route us to a course that gets us back on track?

God is a little something like that. His directions always point us in the right direction and while there are consequences for wrong turns, He always points us back on track. He wants us to reach our destination according to His plan and take the route He planned, which is always for our good.

What if we took God as seriously as we do our GPS?
