Don't follow the GPS from here!

When I was on my way home from a great women's day in Oldenburg, my brother drove many miles back home in his car. He called me on the way and said:

“Déborah, there was actually a sign that said—don't follow the GPS from here! Have you ever seen that before?"

And at that moment I wished we had such a clear sign in front of us at times in life! Because then we would notice if the doubts were seducing us. The doubts that want to persuade us that God has forgotten us and that we should therefore no longer follow Him.  i.e. our spiritual navigation system.

When we no longer feel His gaze on us, we quickly deviate from the path we have walked so faithfully for years.

For example, we might watch films we would not watch if we sensed God with us. We might malign other people; perhaps they have problems, yes, but now that we don't feel God anymore, we don't feel like helping others or being kind to them. 

Do you know what I mean, friend?

Let's be honest. How often do we barely sense God in everyday life and are in danger of making the wrong decision at the moment, a human decision without the help of God? 

friend, do you want to make a conscious decision today not to doubt God, even if you may not sense Him?

My brother continued to tell me, "In spite of the sign that said ‘no GPS from here,’ I still drove straight ahead. I had to drive slowly for a long time, but afterwards the track was free again, and I practically had the road to myself!"

Doubts will come and go, but your loving God endures forever... and He wants to give you good!

"...blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." (John 20:29 NIV) 

You are a miracle!
