Have you lost your sense of direction?


 

I have been accused of being directionally challenged!  My instinct invariably leads me in the wrong direction.  I never cease to astound (or perhaps amuse) my husband as I confidently get off an elevator and turn in the wrong direction--in spite of the fact I've been walking that same route for days.  He has learned over the years the correct turn to make is simply the opposite one I suggest. 


 

When it comes to direction, we no longer need to rely on our instincts or each other...or even the archaic hardcopy road maps (I'm dating myself now).  With the latest technological advances, we have unlimited sources of GPS systems available to us.  Whether walking or driving, directions are spoken clearly and precisely to us at any time of the day at any location.  It is that simple.


 

Several years ago I was driving alone from Boston to Hartford Ct.  I didn't have navigational service in my car but had just a cryptic set of written out directions.  Of course I got lost before I got on whatever turnpike I was supposed to take.  I asked directions from the occupants of a car next to me as I sat at a stop light.  To my chagrin they sent me the wrong way.  I'll never forget that night as I was truly lost and frightened.  After one wrong turn to another, it seemed as if I would never find my way.  However, I knew the power of prayer and knew that God was with me on that journey...just as he is on this journey of life with me.  I didn't panic but asked Him to guide and protect me, and He most certainly did.  It was a late, yet safe arrival.


 

Today's technology can guide us in the physical world, but God directs our spiritual paths.  We may forget our phones or GPS devices.  They may be inoperable because their batteries need recharging.  However, we can access God at any time for He is with us always. 


 

Are you struggling in your career?  Perhaps you have lost your job or are dissatisfied in your current job.  Are your relationships falling apart?  Have those same unresolved issues that keep resurfacing over the years finally brought you to a crisis?  Are you plagued by addictions, whether yours or someone close to you, finding yourself in an inescapable cycle?  Do you feel lost?


 

God has the right path for you.  However, just as you have to engage your GPS device, you must seek His plan for you. 

  • The right job/career is there for the asking.  But the key is to pray, trust and be humble and open to opportunities that may not be so obvious.  There may be a stepping stone.  You may have to start out in a job you may never expect would lead to a flourishing career for you.   Nevertheless that career is already there for you! 
  • Seek forgiveness in your broken relationships.  Humble yourself and cry out to God.  Ask Him to reveal His solution for you.  He is the great counselor who will lead you to peace and love.
  • Ask for the strength (for you or your loved one) to fight the addiction.  Break out of the cycle by asking Him to bring you the help you need. 


 

You are not lost!  For His plan for you has already been laid out.  His directions are clear..."Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." (Luke 11:9)
