After three weeks of travel nursing in a nearby state, I had six days off in a row.

I packed my dirty laundry in the trunk, and put my Aussie in the front seat, securing her seatbelt as she settled onto her blanket.

I put my GPS on “go home”, and we were off. Twisting and turning, I drove the circuitous country roads near my temporary home. I had no idea where the GPS was taking me – I just trusted it to get me home.

Imagine my surprise when the first ramp onto the interstate was the one I used every day I went to work!

Evidently from the view of the GPS, the route to that exact same spot was completely different, based only on what the ultimate destination was.

It got me thinking as I continued my drive south.

How much faith I had put in my GPS – I admittedly have no sense of direction, and most definitely need guidance.

Furthermore, as I continued my route home, my dad called and suggested I use another program, which shortened my route by almost an hour.

I immediately programmed the new route into my phone and changed course. No questions asked.

If only it was so with my faith in God.

How many times have I asked for direction, and ignored the Book that has clear, definitive answers.

How many times have I sought the advice of others, with no background data on their qualifications to give said advice.

How quickly I trusted the GPS to guide me home.

Just input and go.

Lord help me to read your Word and really absorb it. Breathe life into me through Your Word, each and every day, that I may take it and GO!

For You made all, see all, and know all. I can ride in complete security if I just trust in You.

You gave me the roadmap to life.

I just need to use it.
