       Recently I was driving a couple hours outside of Columbus. I knew where I wanted to go, and feeling lazy, I decided I would just follow the GPS app on my smartphone in order to get there. Things went well for a while. But about a third of the way there, the GPS app routed me off the freeway and started taking me on back roads. I was going left, right, up, and down, on hardly paved roads that you could barely pass by oncoming traffic. 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.
