       Turns out it had changed routes on me to save a few minutes, and it was taking me on all these back country roads in order to do this. You see, I relied on the GPS app to get where I was going initially. This is like following a law system. I didn’t have to do anything. All I had to do was follow the directions my phone told me. It wasn’t until just following the directions wasn’t working that I had to pick up my phone and figure out the way on my own. This is what we do when we follow a law system from the Bible. We are blindly following rules, and over time it doesn’t work out. Why doesn’t it get us where we want to be? Because that is not how we are supposed to live. We are not to live under a law without personal input, and this personal input from the third person of the Trinity, the Spirit of God. We are supposed to live by following the Spirit in our lives, which means looking at the Bible and then following the way God wants us go. Not just looking at the Bible alone.
