WOW!
I continue to stand amazed at the beauty of the Heavens.
What is a GPS ?
GPS - The
Global Positioning System
is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of
24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of
Defense.
GPS
was originally intended for military applications, but in the
1980s, the government made the system available for civilian
use. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world,
24 hours a day.
For the full story go to -
What is a GPS
This begs the question why do I think
that
GPS
more importantly stands for
God's
Perfect Sight

It was a while ago when
struggling with some issues asking myself "Where are you God"
- see poem
Finding God
that I asked a friend help me find another name for GPS, but it
must include God. She came up with the perfect definition
God's
Perfect Sight
GPS technology is amazing. The small hand
held
unit
on the top right is called a TrackStick. Similar to many GPS
units this model is able to track many of my moves, whether I
walk around the block or drive my truck around town. The
Trackstick will tell me
Where I went - What direction I went - How
fast I walked or drove - How long I stopped - Even the altitude.
Even some Cell Phones are
equipped with a GPS, so your Mom and Dad can find you in case of
emergency.
NOW - if this small device with all of the technology behind it,
can tell me all of that.
Can you begin to imagine that Our God who has
His Perfect Eye, Sight on me, knows
all of what the GPS unit is able to record and
MUCH more
than
that!
I don't think there is a better description of what our God
knows then as it is described in the Psalm 139 of the Bible.
A psalm of David
Ps.139
O LORD, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my every thought when far away.
You chart the path ahead of me
and tell me where to stop and rest.
Every moment you know where I am.
You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, LORD.
You both precede and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to know!
I can never escape from your spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
If I go up to heaven, you are there;
if I go down to the place of the dead, you are there.
If I ride the wings of the morning,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
even there your hand will guide me,
and your strength will support me.
I could ask the darkness to hide me
and the light around me to become night,
but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are both alike to you.
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother's womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—and how well I know it.
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God!
They are innumerable!
I can't even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up in the morning,
you are still with me!
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
WOW! That is a kind of scary isn't it.
Does He really know all
of that, imagine God saying to you/me, you thought you could
hide from me right? Listen again as He says;
"Every moment you know where I am.
You know
what I am going to say
even before I say it, LORD"
GPS=God's
Perfect Sight
