GPS

Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, and he answered, ‘The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed; nor will they say, “Look, here it is!” or “There it is!” For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among you.’ Then he said to the disciples, ‘The days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. They will say to you, “Look there!” or “Look here!” Do not go, do not set off in pursuit. For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day. But first he must endure much suffering and be rejected by this generation. Just as it was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man. They were eating and drinking, and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all of them. Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot: they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, but on the day that Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven and destroyed all of them —it will be like that on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. On that day, anyone on the housetop who has belongings in the house must not come down to take them away; and likewise anyone in the field must not turn back. Remember Lot’s wife. Those who try to make their life secure will lose it, but those who lose their life will keep it. I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. There will be two women grinding meal together; one will be taken and the other left.’ Then they asked him, ‘Where, Lord?’ He said to them, ‘Where the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.’ (Luke 17:20-37, NRSV)

Two will be in the bed and two will be in the field and one will be taken and one will be left…

But tell me, which do you want to be?

We are to under go suffering. And the world around us is in tribulation. It seems that the Lord has no control, but is that our perception…

You see, He has control over the situations of this world. We need to be on prayer and constant contact with Him so that we know the plan.

If we are not praying for the needs of others and that God’s will is done in our lives, then what will happen?

Have you ever tried to drive somewhere you had never been, without directions? Without a map? without a GPS?

If you are trying to navigate through life without a GPS (a God position system…) then I suggest a recalculation of your existence. God has the plan and will let you know if you will only let Him in to show you what is temporary, and what is eternal.
