Microsoft Mary
By Os Hillman
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he
will make your paths straight" (Prov 3:5- 6).
I travel a
lot. One of the greatest modern-day inventions I've appreciated most is the GPS
system for cars. GPS stands for Global
Positioning System, a navigational system tied to a satellite that can
pinpoint your location and chart directions to any destination you select. I
remember a time when my wife Angie and I used one of these when we were in
Germany and Switzerland. We were able to program the GPS in English. We began
our drive to our destination when a pleasant voice came on: "Turn left in 200
yards." We called our invisible road counselor, Microsoft Mary.
Jesus
sent the Holy Spirit to help
you and I navigate through life. "But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all
truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he
will tell you what is yet to come" (John 16:13-14).
A story is told
years ago about the Chinese underground church having to rely on the Holy Spirit
to tell them when and where they were to meet. It was too dangerous to announce
public meetings. So, each member had to ask the Holy Spirit the time and place. They would all arrive at
the same place at the same time.
Is the Holy Spirit active in your work
life? Are you asking for His direction to succeed in your work? Microsoft Mary
may help us navigate traffic, but Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to help us navigate
life. Ask Him to guide you today.
