Recently Brandy and I purchased a GPS to assist us in our traveling for IWM. We had used one on our trip to New York last year and really loved it. It is kind of like having a cell phone, once you have had it, you can't imagine not having it. So we bought one.
The other day Brandy and I were using it on our trip to Chapel Hill and I made the comment that no matter what wrong turn we may make, we can still drive with confidence because the GPS adjusts and gets us where we are going. You know it is kind of that way in our walk with the Lord. We no longer have to feel lost in life. We have the Holy Spirit that will lead us and guide us no matter where we find ourselves. If we will only learn to trust and rely on the Lord's leading as easily as we do that GPS, we will find ourselves not only driving with peace and confidence, but living with it as well.

Great Parallel Steve!
Our heart needs to be right and we need to be listening to hear that "still, small voice". It is not good, when we aren't listening. It isn't just your conscience. There is more to that voice than simply right or wrong. That is why your correlation works so well for me. If the GPS just told us that we broke a law, or that we were on the wrong path, or on the right path, then it wouldn't do us too much good. But it corrects our bearing by giving us direction, it lets us know whether to turn around, or whether to just grab the next turn.
We need to be listening. That GPS (as well as the Holy Spirit) will do us very little, if we aren't listening.
