“Recalculating”
January 8, 2012
Have you seen the humorous insurance commercial on television where the guy plays the part of a GPS that was never updated and thus creates mayhem by crashing the driver into another vehicle? Today many automobiles come equipped with the directional device and all smart phones have an app that will serve as your guide. I am fascinated by the little tool. While traveling to and from Florida earlier this month I kept my phone keyed in on my destination. It’s a simple route and only involves a few streets, but I like to know how much progress I am making. For reasons unbeknown to me, occasionally the lady inside my phone would instruct us to travel a road that would have been out of the way. Because we were familiar with the route, we chose to ignore the eloquent, soft spoken wayward command. When we did so, we would hear that infamous term “Recalculating.” We have only recently embarked on our life’s journey into 2012. It is a great time for us to measure our spiritual progress and familiarize ourselves with the way of God. The more knowledgeable we are of His way, the more adept we will be at recognizing incorrect directions. Let me encourage you to set your destination for spiritual growth and keep track of your progress. If you will let the Lord be your guide, there will be no need for recalculating.
