Do you trust your GPS more than the Ultimate Road Designer?
Do you trust your GPS more than the Ultimate Road Designer?
You know, sometimes it feels like we need to have a map, a GPS setting, and see the whole route before we start the journey of purpose. But think about it — when you use your GPS to go from point A to point B, you rarely know all the turns ahead. You simply set your destination, trust the system, and start driving.
When it says “turn left,” you turn. When it says “rerouting,” you trust it’s found a better path. You may not understand the route, but you still keep moving.
Yet when it comes to God — the very Creator who designed the map — we often hesitate. We want every detail spelled out: What will the roadblocks be? Where will I turn? What if I get it wrong? Who will I meet on the path?
We end up putting more faith in a GPS than in the One who gives direction to all things.
The truth is, clarity comes in motion. The GPS doesn’t reveal the next instruction until you start moving. Only when your car is in motion does it say, “In 50 yards, turn left.”
It’s the same in destiny. When you respond to that first nudge from God — the stirring in your heart, the gentle awareness that won’t go away — that’s when you begin to receive your next instruction.
For Abraham, it was simply, “Go to the land I will show you.” No map. No turn-by-turn plan. Just trust.
So maybe for you, it’s that growing passion for children, for women, for creating, for teaching — even if you don’t fully understand it yet. Start there. Take the first faithful step, and as you move, the next direction will unfold.
Because when we wait to see the whole picture before obeying, we’re really saying, “God, I don’t trust Your plan enough unless I can approve it first.”
But friend, He’s already seen the path. And if you trust His leading more than your need for control, you’ll find that every “turn" and “rerouting” will lead you exactly where you’re meant to be.
I encourage you to keep moving this week because clarity comes in motion.
Yours in walking and becoming,
