WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL

Week of Monday March 16 – March 22
Spiritual GPS – Man as Provider

“Whether it was two days, or a month, or a longer time, that the cloud continued over the tabernacle, abiding there, the people of Israel remained in camp and did not set out, but when it lifted they set out. At the command of the Lord they camped, and at the command of the Lord they set out. They kept the charge of the Lord, at the command of the Lord by Moses.” - Numbers 9:22-23 ESV

Today, we use our cell phones and our cars to navigate, but do you remember the days of the GPS? You can thank the U.S. Military for that great invention. President Reagan made the technology public in 1983. Soon the Global Positioning System not only pinpointed your spot on the map, but also allowed input of your desired destination and provided turn by turn directions. Then came other developments like traffic reporting, detour suggestions, and even helpful information from rest stops to restaurants.

That all sounds great, but there was a hitch. If you don’t update it, the GPS could lead you astray. Obviously, roads are not static. There are closures for maintenance, new roads and highway construction, new interchanges built, improved access points and exits added, etc. Consequently, if the software in the GPS is outdated, the directions may not match up with the actual situation you encounter on the road, which may lead to you getting confused or even lost.

However, what God provided for ancient Israel trumps any modern navigation system. He supplied a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night to guide the Israelites. There were no mistakes in God’s guidance. No software update needed. It was flawless every single time. All they had to do was keep their eyes on the cloud or fire, move when it moved and stay put when it stopped. For the Israelites in the wilderness, the "GPS" wasn’t a digital map—it was Divine Presence. They didn't have to debate the route or check the weather. Because they knew Who was leading, they didn't have to worry about where they were going.
