And You are Going Where?

There is a story told of a man who was standing in the middle of his field, when he noticed a horse coming toward him at full gallop. The man on the back of the horse was frantically holding on for dear life. "Hey, rider," shouted the man, "Where are you going?"
The rider frantically replied: "Don't ask me, ask my horse."
Have you every felt like the man on the back of the horse? Life is taking you down a road and you are not sure where you are going, you are just going.
People trying to find out where they are going has become one of the reasons for a multi-million dollar industry for GPS manufacturers. They have models that mount on the dash of your car, tie around your wrist, or can even be activated from your cell phone. When you use these, you are not supposed to get lost. (I still do sometimes.) Of course, even with the little devices, we still use roadmaps.
Do you feel the same about the direction of your life? Everyone and everything seems to pull or push you along and you sometimes wonder about the direction you are going. Proverbs 16:7 says: “The highway of the upright avoids evil; he who guards his way guards his life.”
When we follow God, the direction we travel grows clearer with every moment of faith. We invite God into our lives and are always sure where we are going as we walk with Him.

Mid-week Prayer

Loving Father, we come this day knowing it is difficult to listen to the world and walk with You. We continue to seek the direction that tells us the truth and offers us hope. Then we remember Jesus said He was the way, the truth, and the life. Oh God, thank You for the strength of His salvation for our lives. Amen.

This has been Rev. Jim Massey. Look at the direction you are heading right now. Who or what do you give control of your heart and spirit? See you next week for another Mid-week Epistle.
