I recently wrote about NeverLost®, the feature provided by Hertz rentals. I fell in love with her it.
The more I thought about it (because I couldn't quit thinking about our time together), I came to understand that in many ways, NeverLost® was a beautiful picture of the Holy Spirit Himself.
You see, God has coordinated a destination of heaven for those who are His children. Upon salvation, that destination is sealed and guaranteed by His NeverlostX > U Provision, the Holy Spirit.
So God has decided that nothing less than Himself, the Holy Spirit shall be your guide through life.
Once we become aware of the destination that has been set for us, we then are able to listen to the still small voice of He who guides us there.
"Turn away from that temptation."
"Turn toward what is right."
"Stop at the intersection of Bad Habit and New Life. Bad Habit is a Dead End. New Life is the way to go.
From time to time, we don't listen to directions. We think we know the way better than NeverlostX > U. We think we know a short cut. We think we want to go sight-seeing (even if it is in the middle of the night). So we venture away from the path that was established for us. But NeverLostX > U doesn't leave us. He just scales back, showing where we are in relation to Him. Instead of abandoning us once we attempt to chart our own path, He simply says, very patiently, very lovingly, very....sovereignly:
You may U-Turn as soon as possible.
When you finally make that U-turn and restore communication with NeverLostX > U, you find that He is there waiting for you, right where you departed from Him. You can't go beyond Him. You can't get closer to your destination without Him. You can only stray from Him and return to Him. Only when you are with Him can you grow toward Home.
In fact, there will be times on your journey where you'll have no idea where you are. You might feel like you are all alone. Everyone around you will be saying that you are crazy and you don't know where you are. To this you will be able to reply, "I may not know where I am, but NeverLostX > U knows where I am and how to get me Home.
When you have a subscription to NeverLostX > U, you will forever have an eternal Godly Positioning Servant who is permantly orienting you in relation to Himself.
It is in those times where you don't have to depend on your own orienteering skills. You only have to slow down long enough to ask NeverLostX > U for directions.
