Why road maps? What ARE Roadmaps? It used to be we used road maps. Those amazing pieces of paper that once unfolded refused to be reassembled. But we knew how to read a map. And then we saw GPS enter the scene and now all you do is listen and trust. Unlike God, GPS has a fallibility factor. And forget reliance on your own set of skills. Nope, now you listen to “Sarcastic Sally” as she leads you by the nose to where you have to go.

The problem is what do we do if we are lost?

The last few weeks I have been thinking about road maps as well as GPS, God’s Personal Solution to aid you in where you are going.

As many discuss and ponder destiny, we think it is cool. Like “let’s go on vacation to NYC”.”Great-where’s NYC?” “Oh, let’s just follow the GPS”. Yes-good idea. Depending on where you are reading this from you could be in the Hamptons or Australia. One will pose a larger problem than another.

Road maps-those pieces of paper that give you perspective, context and more. Want to reach your destination? Consider a road map. Want to get where God has planned for you? Road maps.

More to come on road maps…
