I want to compare the navigation
system to our minds. It is where all
decisions are made, it is where we contemplate what we are going to do, it is
where we rationalize over things we must do, etc. The Bible says we are to be transformed by
the renewing of our minds. Can you
believe that? We can be totally
transformed just by renewing how we think and how we process?
The navigation system also has to
be renewed by making sure they have the up-to-date software that has all the
new streets and routes downloaded in it.
Could you imagine having a navigation system that you depended on to get
you to your destination and it was not up to date. So in the middle of your journey you found
yourself lost and confused; too far to go back home and not close enough to ask
for directions.
That is how many of us find
ourselves in life sometimes. We stepped
out on God and what we believed God led us to do only to find that along this
journey our mind hasn’t been renewed for this new faith walk. What! This
new walk God has me on isn’t familiar to me.
I’m not comfortable on this journey because I am no longer in control
like I want to be. Isaiah 42:16 says, “I
will lead the blind by a way they knew not and down paths they have not known; I’ll
make darkness light before them and crooked places straight and these things
will I do and not forsake them.”
When you are navigating from the
driver’s seat it means you are listening to Holy Spirit daily for His
leadership and step by step directions.
You are attentive to His small voice and the way He impresses upon your
spirit to do. Remember, your mind must
be in agreement with your spirit and not oppose what Holy Spirit says to
you. If your mind is not renewed, there
will always be a constant battle and reasoning which only brings frustration
and confusion. Command your mind to be
in agreement with your spirit man and stay in the driver’s seat to your destiny
and your dreams.
