Have you ever relied on GPS, only to find yourself taking an unexpected detour? In Exodus 13:17-22, we see that God led the Israelites on what seemed like the long route—but it was actually the BEST route. Just like GPS, God’s Presence Saves, and His guidance is always for our good! G.P.S. Breakdown: 📍 G – God Knows the Best Route | Even when life takes unexpected turns, trust that God’s path is better than ours. (Exodus 13:17-18) 📍 P – Presence Over Panic | God’s presence is with us always, even when the road ahead is uncertain. (Exodus 13:21) 📍 S – Stay Close to the Guide | The Israelites followed the pillar of cloud and fire—staying close to God keeps us from getting lost. (Exodus 13:22) When life feels like it's "recalculating," remember: G.P.S. – God’s Presence Saves!
