If we continue to ignore God’s GPS, we should not be shocked when our lives end up completely different from what we had hoped.

Sometimes we unplug the GPS.
1. We believe the voice has let us down.
2. We get tired of listening to “the Voice.”

Never too late to plug it back in: 1 John 1:9
God’s desire for us is to follow His guidance system so we are about to experience life to the full. Ephesians 3:20–21

The two most important decisions we will ever make are:
1. Will we choose to follow God’s Word in relation to accepting Christ’s place in our life?
2. Will we follow God’s Word when it comes to relationships?
Choose wisely—your life depends on it!!
