How do you feel when you get lost? 

When you are driving, you don’t have a GPS and you have no idea where you are. 

How frustrating right? 

How about when you accidentally input the wrong address in your GPS and it takes you to a completely different place? When you thought that you finally arrived at your destination, you didn’t, and now you have to drive all over again… it’s so annoying. 

This also applies in life. Wherever we go physically, our feet is what guides us. A lot of  people go in the wrong direction in life because their feet directed them there. 

In a spiritual way, your decisions are the feet that guide you. Whatever way you choose, will be where you end up. That’s why you need a spiritual GPS.

God wants to be that GPS! God is the only accurate guide that exists. His direction never fails! Count on Him to be your direction and He is going to take you to the right place. 

Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but followed the counsels and the dictates of their evil hearts, and went backward and not forward. Jeremiah 7:24

God gave us feet to move ahead, and God gave us free will to make the right choices with. To go forward and not backwards. Otherwise what is the point of having feet in front of you, pointing forward? If it’s for you to go backwards you might as well switch the direction of your feet and start going backwards.

If you feel stuck in life, or you are constantly going in the wrong direction spiritually speaking, or if your life doesn’t move forward, but you keep going backwards… you need to listen to the voice of God and obey Him. When you do not obey God and you don’t incline your ears to the voice of God, you go the wrong way. 

So you must learn to have respect, love and fear towards the Lord. Put God as your number one, and in return He will honor you.

May the God of the Bible bless all of you!
