Enter: GPS and
Google Maps… What an improvement –
thank goodness for technology! And
if you’ve ever been frustrated by one of these new things, you’re laughing
along with me.
Sometimes, the mistakes are annoying, like the day I tried
to find the house of our little carpool buddy in a new-ish development. It looked pretty simple, except for the
fact that Google Maps left off 4 streets or so… Fortunately, the little man knew his way around the
sub-division and we made it without much trouble.
Other times, the consequences can be treacherous, like the
folks who were stranded on what looked a small highway in Oregon, but was, in
fact, a county fire road that wasn’t maintained. I’ve read stories of people who eventually were rescued, and
others who were not.
As I was thinking about the lies of the enemy, I pondered
the fact that when we’re lied to, we may be heading full-speed into a dangerous
situation, all the while happily thinking we’re going to reach our destination. I know of a man who believed it was
okay with God for him to have an affair and leave his wife; lies twisted his
understanding of God’s word (which was considerable).
It’s all the more critical that we spend time understanding
what the Bible says, and listening to the Holy Spirit, especially in those
moments when He’s giving us that Uh-Oh feeling. Today, I’m going to be asking God to show me areas of my
life where I’ve bought into lies, and look to apply the truth of His word.
