If you are directionally challenged, if you get lost on the same trip that you have traveled many times before, you might need this new technology. So when my wife Jenny is driving by herself, she is so thankful because the car is fitted with a GPS map and direction system that helps her navigate from place to place. GPS is an amazing feature in our cars and on our phones. You have to listen to the GPS information and follow its directions for it to have any value to your travel.  The same is true as we travel life with Jesus.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5,6

To not depend on your own understanding, is tricky. We all have preconceived ideas, hopes and desires, and those emotional leanings influence our decisions. I have found that one of the best ways to have the Holy Spirit lead and guide your life and is to come to the emotional place of yielded willingness. Willing to do whatever we hear from the Father. Willing to go or stay. Willing to buy in or hold steady. Being in a neutral position emotionally and not given to one way or another is an excellent starting point. Then we wait on the Lord, seeking his will to be confirmed through the following: His Word, the body of Christ, peace of mind and then circumstances, and in that order of importance. Know this: God wants to confirm his plans and purposes for your life. He is for you not against you. He’s not playing a game with your choices. He desires to bring the best and confirm his plans that will bring glory to him and strengthen you. Lean into him, set your agenda aside, and he will show you which path to take.
