Global Positioning System (GPS) is a widely used navigation and communication aid in today's techo-savvy society. Simply enter your destination details and your journey is planned. All one needs to do is follow the directions and you'll eventually arrive in good time...providing you don't make too many detours along the way!As Christians, when we trust in Jesus as personal Saviour and Lord and respond obediently to the guidance of the Holy Spirit in our lives we, too, become GPS ~ GOD'S POSITIONED SERVANTS.
From the moment we come to faith until the moment that we stand "face to face" in God's eternal presence we are His communication aid and His navigational instrument in sharing the unconditional love of God with others.
Miriam Richards authored the following words which echo this calling and affirm our personal desire to be "God's Positioned Servants".
Just where He needs me, my Lord has placed me
Just where He needs me, there would I be!
And since He found me, by love He's bound me
To serve Him joyfully.
(SASB 706, chorus)
It is my prayer that you will allow God to be your daily Guide as you seek to be God's Positioned Servant right where He has placed you ~ until you hear the Lord say, "Congratulations! You have reached your destination."
Isaiah 42:16 (MSG) ~ "But I'll take the hand of those who don't know the way, who can't see where they're going. I'll be a personal guide to them, directing them through unknown country. I'll be right there to show them what roads to take, make sure they don't fall into the ditch. These are the things I'll be doing for them — sticking with them, not leaving them for a minute."
