“LORD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO”? THE GPS READS REROUTE!!
“Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem..” Acts 9:1-2 (NKJV)
We are driving along, all of a sudden we make a wrong turn and our GPS READ’S REROUTING which at that point tells us that we are moving in the wrong direction. Now let’s see how that concept will work in regards to our commitment to 
Christ and the direction we are headed and does it need to be REROUTED because we have begun to move in a direction opposite from where Christ is leading.
Let’s now follow Paul on the Damascus road. “As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”
Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.” So he, trembling and astonished, said, “LORD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” Acts 9:3-6 (NKJV)
Where I need you to focus at today is in making God your GPS as you allow him to REROUTE your life as He did Paul and
like Paul, as you look above at the Master, ask. “LORD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?” My friends As we move closer to Christ return, God is looking for DEDICATED SOLDIERS as we enter the threshold of the PROMISE LAND.
Soldiers who are willing to be REROUTED in the direction that will lead not only themselves but a world towards Gods kingdom for God is looking for “men, and women who will not be bought or sold; men and women who in their inmost souls are true and honest; who do not fear to call sin by its right name;…..and who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.” (E. G. White, Education, p. 57)
Consistent with this, Soldiers who will keep their focus centered on the concepts and precepts of God’s word and Spirit. An observation is made of the frigid waters around Greenland where there are countless icebergs, some little and some gigantic.
If you observe them carefully, you would notice that sometimes the small ice floes move in one direction while their massive counterparts flow in another. The explanation is simple. Surface winds drive the little ones, whereas the huge masses of ice are carried along by deep ocean currents.
When God begins to REROUTE our lives, it’s helpful to see our lives as being subject to two forces–surface winds and ocean currents. The winds represent everything changeable, unpredictable, and distressing that the god of this world places before us.
But operating simultaneously with these gusts and gales of this world is another force that’s even more powerful. It is the sure movement of God’s wise and sovereign purpose and the deep flow of His unchanging love as He REROUTES his Children on a course toward Eternity as He prepares our lives to become “safe to save” for His pure and holy kingdom.
But in our REROUTING our Savior starts at Calvary, and places a cross on our shoulders as He takes us through the
trials and tribulation of bearing the cross for Christ, He then places us in His loving arms, and guides and protects each of us as we begin to move in the right direction as we begin to make the right decision about our Salvation.
In addition, the main change in this new direction that we are headed is that we now give it all to the Master, we hold nothing back and soon we will see him face to face as He tells all of His Children “Well done, good and faithful servants! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness! in my pure and holy kingdom.
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
