God's GPS

Our Daily Bread
There has been a lot of privacy concerns expressed as technology becomes more and more advanced.  Your location and movement can sometimes be tracked via your smart phone.  There are cameras everywhere in large and medium sized cities.  There are even cameras on highways that can track you!  Do we have any privacy left?

As ominous as all that sounds, we have an omnipotent God who knows everything about us.  Who we are now.  Where we came from.  What we do in the light.  What we do in the dark.  Everything.  Talk about GPS - God invented the globe!  ha!  The coolest thing is that God not only knows where we are now, he will lead us to where need to be if we just let him.  Following the gentle leadership of the Holy Spirit becomes more natural to us as we learn and practice.  God will never lead us astray!

Lord, thank you for leading us to peaceful places if we just let you!

Peace
pēs
noun
freedom from disturbance; quiet and tranquility.
"you can while away an hour or two in peace and seclusion"
synonyms: tranquility, calm, restfulness, peace and quiet, peacefulness, quiet, quietness; (from Google dictionary)

The fruit of the week (I love that phrase) is peace.  I love the definition from Google dictionary above.  With all the things the world throws at us, we can proceed with "freedom from disturbance" when we walk through life with God's peace!  Praise God!  I thought about the 23rd Psalm while reading this definition as well!

What is your "peace"?  A quiet morning alone in your home?  A weekend away in a nature retreat or cabin in the woods?  Whenever life gets rough, think about your peaceful places and peaceful times.  Think on these things!

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit - Romans 15:13
