My wife is a beautiful, talented woman, but she tends to be, uh, directionally-challenged. That is to say, it’s not hard for her to get on the wrong road, heading the wrong direction. So a wonderful Christmas gift from my folks this year was a TomTom GPS unit.
Yesterday I took a trip and borrowed her TomTom. My first destination was a familiar one, but my second stop was somewhere I hadn’t been before. So I’m driving along when all of a sudden I hear a pleasant female voice tell me, “In two miles, exit to the right.”
Cool!
The Bible tells us that we can have a moral GPS system just like my wife’s TomTom. Check this out:
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a Voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”
That Voice is the Holy Spirit. Jesus said the Holy Spirit would guide us in the right ways to go:
But when the Father sends the Advocate as My representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—He will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.
You have this moral GPS system at your disposal. Are you using it? Prayer is the power supply that activates the Voice. Turn Him on and make better decisions, live a better life, and do greater things for God.

Craig, you didn’t mention that great “spiritual experience” when that pleasant female voice says you, “you have arrived!”
