A few years ago I drove past a bus with one of those destination signs above the front windscreen that simply said "Lost". After initially wondering where I could get myself one of those sign thingies, I began to ponder why it is that us guys have such a fear of asking anyone for directions. It's a well-known scientific fact that the male of the species has an almost primeval aversion to asking for directions. A woman has no qualms about stopping in the inside lane of a busy freeway during peak hour to ask for help (I know because I've seen it happen). A man however would rather keep driving until they reach Iceland than admit they don't know where they are and have no idea how to get to wherever it is they want to go. Is it because we don't like to admit we don't know as much as we'd like to think we know? Is it because we think that asking for help is a sign of weakness, that it would tear down the invincible "Superman" persona we have so meticulously cultivated over all those years? To be honest, I reckon it's a little bit of all these. But whatever it is, there is a solution. Two words - G.P.S! With those little puppies a man will never get lost again. No matter where you are, your trusty Sat-Nav will give you the solution. In the middle of the Sahara Desert? No problem.Take the next left, cross the roundabout, second exit, and in 300,000 metres you have reached your destination.
There is another G.P.S that you can trust in that will guide you and place you on the right path - God's Positioning System! His Word, the Bible, is the ultimate map for life. No matter where you are in life, no matter how lost you feel, how sad, how broken, His Word will guide you, give you the solution, point you in the right direction, and help you reach your destination. So next time you are lost, reach for your G.P.S - God's Positioning System, and let His Word guide you.
