Welcome to Goodyear Heights Community Church

I don’t know…

Isn’t it frustrating when you ask someone for directions and they say, “I don’t know” and walk away? It is fairly apparent that you are lost and cannot find your destination which means everything to you at that moment, and the person you ask just brushes you off without even trying to find someone to help you. It becomes even more frustrating when you ask several people the same question and basically get the same answer. How are you to proceed? Are you going the right direction or in the totally opposite direction? I think most people don’t want to be bothered and they assume that everyone has a GPS to rely upon. However, if you happen to be in a very large commercial building such as a hospital your GPS will not do you much good. That is where it gets really annoying when people who work in the building don’t take the time or courtesy to help you.

It is such a relief to find someone who is not only willing to give you directions but to take you to your destination. I had been called to visit a person in our church late one evening in a very large hospital that I had never been inside before. My GPS got me to the building but from there I was on my own. I asked several people at the various information desks and each one gave me directions that seemed totally impossible to remember, especially since it was late and I was very tired. After finding several different ways that you cannot get to the room I was wanting, a very kind cleaning lady must have seen my confusion and said she would take me there which she did. What a relief to know I would not be spending my entire night wandering the hallways aimlessly! Finding my way back out is another story for another time.

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. 

Aren’t you glad that God never gives you the brush off when you need His help? How comforting to know that He not only knows the way forward to reach the destination, but He also is willing to share that priceless information with you upon your asking. But then God doesn’t just tell you the way, but He also volunteers to go with you to make sure you arrive safely at the right place at the right time. Things that we often do not even know to ask God about are things that He already knows and is willing to share with you personally, hand in hand so to speak. Put your trust and confidence in Him and don’t try to second guess Him because He really does know great and mighty things which you do not know.
