Google Map

Did you watch the video above? I want to tell you the story behind it...

"E tele google o, ema je ki google binu"
(Follow google map o. Don't let google map be angry)

My mom kept saying this and we all kept laughing...

She said that because of the previous experience we had, where we refused to following the directions and guidance of Google Map.

Once beaten, twice shy they say. Whenever we are going out, and we aren't sure of the way to the destination, my mom advises that we stick religiously to google map. Let me tell you why...




A while back, my siblings and I, along with my mom went on a journey. We went with two cars because of our numbers.

In the car that I was, we didn't know the way to our destination but one or two of my siblings in the other car had an idea on how to get there because they had been to the destination before.

At first, we were following the other car. But the other car was moving at a slower pace and there were moments that we didn't even see the car we were following in sight.

So we decided to use Google Map as back up.

At a juncture, Google Map told us to keep going straight but the car we were following took left.

Because of the speed we were moving with, we couldn't take left like the car we were following.

We stuck with Google Map till we got to our destination.

At the end of the day, we got to the destination faster than the car we were following.

The car we were following (that the passengers had an idea of where we were going) got to the venue almost one hour after we did.

They refused to obey Google Map, they stuck with the route they thought was right.

Since then, my mom has been an avid of Google Map. She prefers to follow Google Map than do guess work.

I am sharing this story because I also want to tell someone not to do guess work but follow "Google Map".

However, the Google Map I am referring to is God and His Spirit.

There are a number of times that I have lost my way and Google Map had always come to the rescue.

The same way we get lost and think of using Google Map to find our way, is the same way God expects us to call upon Him to find our way in life.

It doesn't matter if you had taken the wrong turn. Google Map can still re-route your way. How much more God? God can re-route your life and you'd still get to your proposed destination in life.

All you need do is to call on Him.
Psalm 48:14 says This God is our God forever and ever. He will lead us from now to the end of time.

God is our present help in times of trouble. He is ready to lead us, He is ready to order our steps aright. He is ready to make sure we don't take the wrong steps.

All we need do is call on Him. All we need do is obey His leading and follow His guidance.

When my siblings took the wrong turn, Google Map didn't keep quiet, it kept re-routing, and telling then where to turn. But they ignored.

This is the same way, many have taken the wrong turn in life, many have ignored God and the Holy Spirit, many have switched off their antenna from hearing God, many are using their head knowledge to journey through life.

The same way we were following the other car at first, is the same way some of us are following and patterning our lives after other people lives.

Why pattern your life after a mere mortal man?

God is still in the business of patterning lives.

He created you and I, He designed us for a reason, He has our "user-manual", why not reach for God? Why not ask Him for guidance in the journey of life?

Following God's plan for your life makes the journey more enjoyable and peaceful.

Josh 1:7
...be careful to obey all the commands...
