Your GPS system is not omnipotent/omniscient!

In my recent visit to a friend of mine in San Jose, in order to find the route from the airport to his place, I gave the system the address (I checked the accuracy of the input three times), and yet it led me to 101 S and a wrong exit; my friend grew impatient, and called me saying, "Where are u?" "I am on 101S looking for the exit to the city of Mountaiview [of San Jose]". He said, "You are on the wrong direction: get off, go back onto 101 N. until you hit this or that". The dinner appointment was at 7:30 p.m. but due to the mix-up, we ended up having it at 11:30 p.m. Luckily there was a Korean restaurant which was still open.

The path of life leads upward for the wise to keep him from going down to the grave [or hell]. Pro 15:24

Life's journey can be challenging, esp. due to the difficulty in finding the right path, even more challenging than for a lay man to find the path from the Planet Earth to the Kepler 22b [which is supposedly 600 lightyears away from the earth].

Is there any way to find the path of life "above"? Are there any systems available in the market? If there are any, are they error free?

Apparently King David found one who (or which) is totally error-free, for the customer reviw (as posted by David) states the system IS omnipotent and omnicient. You do not need to get the system updated. :-)

What is truly cool about the Navigation System David subscribed to is that it finds you out when you are lost (and therefore in trouble), and gets you back home safe!

For further infor, go to Psalm 138, check out the meaing of the words in diff. translations, and try to find answers to the questions like:

* What do the following words [NIV Readers' Version] have in common? - see, preserve, stretch out, save, and vindicate

* How does David describe the path-finder in vs. 1-2?

* What difference [in the way for David to meet the challenges of life] did the discovery make? (v. 3)
