Contemplations on a Hymn (Part 3)

So I got this new phone several months ago and have been desperately searching for a free (yes, I'm cheap) gps navagation program so that I don't get lost when I am traveling to meetings, etc. Well, my search continues since all I have found so far are programs that aren't accurate and programs where I have to read the directions while driving. Why are we so obsessed with these GPS thingys anyway? Well, I realized that part of the reason is that I incredibly dislike the feeling of being lost. Desperately looking around for any recognizable sign that will point me in the right direction. This is a terrible feeling for someone that enjoys driving and it just ruins the entire experience. The other reason is that I don't really like being late because I got lost. I don't like having to tells others that I didn't know where I was going or that I got completely lost. I think these things are generally true in other areas of my life - I don't like feeling lost, I don't like having to tell others that I'm lost, and I don't like not being in control enough to at least know where I'm going. I think that's why Grace sounds so amazing; because I was lost and now I'm found. And it's not that I just got a little turned around! I was headed east when I wanted to go north. If God had not found me I would have continued forever eastward. Thank you God that "I once was lost but now am found"...now I can enjoy the ride.
