GPS – Godly Positioned Spirit
January 1, 2009

This is that great time of year where many of us evaluate the previous year and seek God for direction for the coming year. It is a precious time of year for me. As I examine 2008 and consider 2009, one of the things that I’m asking is, what was the most significant lesson that God allowed me to learn. One comes to mind but it wasn’t exactly a new lesson. It was a confirmation of a previous lesson. The lesson was to keep myself open to His direction, as He reveals details.
I have to be mindful that there are instances where He reveals more of His plan concerning my life’s purpose. Sometimes I take what appear to be “wrong turns.” They are wrong turns, especially if I decide that I know the way. In 2008, I certainly experienced some of these. Yet, I know that when I maintain my relationship with Him and acknowledge that He is my shepherd, the wrong turns are only detours. By continuing to walk with Him as He leads me down the path of my life’s journey, He allows me to journey from those wrong turns and still progress toward His intended purpose for my life. I’m forever and always grateful for His omniscience, His omnipresence and His omnipotence. This introspectiveness brought the analogy and acronym of GPS to mind, a Godly Positioned Spirit. I can never be lost if I commit, trust and follow God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6.
