"Divers weights are
an abomonation unto the LORD;
and a false balance
is
not good.
Man's goings are of
the LORD;
how can a man then understand
his own way?"
Proverbs 20:23-24
NO Where to Go?
~~~**~~~
Today's society stays quite
busy around the clock today. Nearly every family
has access to two or more vehicles ~ most of
which are always on the road. We are so fast
paced, but where are we going? What are
we accomplishing in our travels? And now, the
"stinging" question: Is it all for self-gain?
Ouch! Where will all this "running around" take
us? When will we get there? Just where are
we going?
I realize it is necessary for
all of us to work, because we do have to make a
living. But what about all the other "running
around" we busy our time with? Is it all
necessary? Is it productive? But more
importantly, is it pleasing to God? Do we spend
at least a portion of our "spare time" in ways
that help to benefit others? This is something
to think on.
In the last 3 1/2 years that
Jesus walked on the face of this earth before
His crucifixion, He walked! He walked
everywhere He went, preaching, teaching,
healing. He accomplished much, including
atonement for our sins (which, by the way, He
walked to His own horrible death, carrying His
own cross)! Yet, every step of the way, He
WALKED!
Now, here we are, two or
three car families, making our life here on
earth much easier, and we selfishly sit back and
"enjoy the ride." How can we understand the road
we travel without knowing Who directs our steps?
It is God's desire for each
and every one of us to live well. But He also
requires us to look to Him for direction in our
lives as we trust in His saving grace and walk
circumspectly. "For they being ignorant
of God's righteousness, and going about to
establish their own righteousness, have not
submitted themselves unto the righteousness of
God."
Won't you look to the Lord, so you
can
KNOW Where To Go?
