BETTER THAN A GPS

For this blog, I will be using the theme from the book of Hebrews, “Christ is Better Than,” however, instead of saying, “Christ,” I will be saying, “God is better than.”

The Global Positioning System, which is referred to as GPS, was developed by the United States Department of Defense in the 1970s. Initially, it was designed for military applications; however, in 1993, it became available to civilians, who now dominate its’ usage in their automobiles.

Most drivers who utilize the GPS have experienced its’ multitudinous benefits, such as real-time traffic updates, navigation and directions, tracking and security, fuel efficiency, emergency assistance, travel time estimates, and route planning. However, despite these benefits, be assured that everything that man has created has limitations and failures. We can thank God that He comes to our rescue in our time of need; there is no failure in Him, for He is better than a GPS.  

Just as the world relies on the GPS to navigate them as they journey through life, we believers can rely on God to do the same and even more. So, let me share some of the ways God is better than a GPS:

• Talking to God to get direction does not require a satellite hookup; you speak directly to Him.
• Unlike blocked GPS signals due to dense forest areas, bad weather, or tall buildings, nothing hinders your communication with God.
• God never needs an update: from the beginning of time, He knew about all the changes that would occur in your life.
• Obstructions or atmospheric conditions can prevent the satellites from determining where you are located. God always knows where you are.
• GPS sometimes gives erroneous information, but God’s information is always correct.
• GPS can malfunction or run out of battery power; God is Omnipotent, and He never lacks power.
• Though some GPS routing may be faster, it may not be safe. God will safely guide and protect you at His pace.
• With God, you never have to be concerned about your private information being accessed illegally.
• Whereas the GPS may incur a data usage cost, there is no cost to talk to God.
• When you have lost something of value, God can reveal the hidden thing.

I close this blog hoping if you did not realize it before, you now know God is better than a GPS
