Destination Unknown

Destination Unknown

“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, 

but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails” 

Proverbs 19:21

The other day my daughter & I picked my Husband up from work to go to lunch.  It was time to decide where we were going to eat, which is always an eventful time. He told me to choose, which was instant dread for me. I told my husband and daughter that “you two need to decide quickly, it’s not safe for me to be driving if I don't know where I’m going.” It was just a conversation between our family. But it hit me when I said it. 

It’s dangerous to be in the drivers seat when you don't know where your destination will be.  Instead of paying attention to driving and arriving safely at your destination, you tend to be confused, distracted and still determining what your destination should even be.  The problem with this is that while you are deciding, you could be totally going the wrong way, you could drive past the place completely and have to turn around, or you could get in an accident because your not paying attention to things going on around you.  All of these things result in not getting to your destination as quick or as safely as you could have.

This applies so much to our spiritual journey. Some of us are in the drivers seat and we don't know what our destination is.  We don't know what our purpose is. We don't know where God wants us to be going or what He wants us to be doing.  So we try to make our own way instead of letting God make our way.  Sometimes when we do that we get lost and/or have accidents, which in turn delays what God has for us. 

What God has for you could just be around the corner! Don’t take a wrong turn, you will either delay or totally miss what He has for you. Or better yet, get out of the drivers seat and let God drive.  Lets not delay or miss out on God’s plans for us.  Seek Him, don't let your destination be unknown.
