Some reading this may recall the pre-GPS navigation days, when driving from one place to another sometimes required having a road map. Today, most vehicles have built-in road maps, called GPS (Global Positioning System). All that's required is to enter (or speak) an address marking your destination, and presto, your route is calculated, mapped out and staring back at you from a video screen on the dashboard. A voice even talks you through each turn. As well as warning you of impending road hazards, this sophisticated system estimates how long before you reach your destination, points you to the nearest gas station or rest area, and even tells you where you can stop to eat. It's the perfect setup—for driving, that is. Unfortunately, everything about life doesn't operate by GPS navigation. Some people mapped out their lives, certain they were on course and headed in the right direction, only to hit unexpected roadblocks. Something distracted them, threw them off course, or maybe even caused them to stop, detour, turn around or start over. When that happens, it's easy to become frustrated and want to give up hope of ever reaching your planned destination. That's the kind of response the devil is hoping from you, but don't give him what he wants. Instead, consider the possibility that God may have something to do with those sudden interruptions. Maybe you're moving too fast, and He wants you to slow down and seek His direction. Perhaps the path you've chosen is not the right one, and He wants you to take a detour. When we trust the Lord to be our GPS, allowing Him to chart our course, He will lead, guide and direct us over, around or through every obstacle so we reach our destination safely. Here's an idea: Consider "locking in" your destination now and plan to join us July 28-Aug. 2, at the Fort Worth Convention Center, here in Fort Worth, Texas, for the annual Southwest Believers' Convention. You'll receive powerful teaching from God's Word through Kenneth Copeland and a host of other anointed ministers of the gospel, as you become immersed in the blessed preaching, teaching and fellowship that always takes place in these six-day meetings.
