God can be found like Geocaching

Funny thought, right?! How can you link the two together?! It occurred to me as my friend and I were on our “hey let’s go Geocaching, its late and we don’t have the right shoes” mood, which is often how we roll, its just more fun!

As we walked around with our phones, the Geocaching app and a keen awareness of our surroundings, the thought came to me, “this must be how God feels!” He hands us our GPS, the Bible and says “I have it all laid out for you, just follow My directions” – much like Geocaching. As we searched for the item in the dark, feel around under tree trunks, benches etc it’s how we find God, wondering around in darkness looking for something. Gods word says that He is like a lamp post to my feet, He guides our steps. As the GPS app counts down to the area we need to find the object that’s like our life. God gives us directions, we follow, along the way we find treasures and as we go thru life God counts down to the end. But unlike Geocaching, God fulfills a great desire we all have put inside of us, to find Him and have a relationship with Him. Geocaching doesn’t get old or boring but once the cache is found you’re on to the next one to get your “fix”. Jesus is completely fulfilling and my life is not boring with Him in it!!!

Here are a few pictures of our adventures!

God loves to surprise us!!!
