How is the Waze app similar to listening to God’s voice in our life?
When we don’t know where we are going, or we get lost, God’s voice leads us back on track. Similarly to using the Waze app, it’s all about trusting and following. It is in our human nature to want to follow our own path, but it is not our path we need to be following, it’s God’s. No matter how unpredictable or strange it might seem, God knows how to direct us back on track, similarly to how the Waze app might take us through an open road when we usually would take a highway, but we end up getting to our destination in a safer better way that we could have not seen before if we had not relied on it for help. When we give into temptation, we end up choosing thew wrong path, but God will help to take us back on track to our final destination with him.
