God’s GPS – How to Follow Divine Directions Without Knowing the Full Route

When God is the navigator

Let’s be honest—if God had a GPS, it would be the most mysterious, turn-by-turn system ever. “In 500 feet… wait… rerouting… now climb a mountain, face a giant, and trust Me.” Unlike our trusty phone apps, God rarely gives us the full map upfront. Instead, He asks us to move one step at a time. Just like Abraham in Hebrews 11:8, “By faith Abraham obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.” Talk about walking blindly with confidence! Faith is trusting the Driver, even when you don’t know the destination—especially when the “road closed” sign pops up and there’s no signal to be found.

But here’s the good news: God never gets lost. While we panic over the detours, He’s already charted the best route—divine delays, scenic routes, and all. Psalm 32:8 promises, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.” So when your life feels like you’re driving through fog with the GPS muted, don’t freak out. Take a deep breath, laugh a little, and remember who’s navigating. God’s timing is perfect, His route is intentional, and even when the directions make zero sense, you’re still exactly where you’re supposed to be. BE ENCOURAGED!!
