Is Life a Road Trip without a Destination?

In yesterday’s blog I wrote about the importance of asking God for directions—using the analogy of a road trip. Imagine going on a road trip without a destination in mind. Asking for directions would be irrelevant.

I think this is how many unfulfilled Christians live their lives. To them life is like a road trip without a destination, or you might say, they have no sense of destiny. Such people focus on motion (or activity). They may not know where they are going, but they are on their way! Unfortunately, thousands who sit in church pews week after week have somehow missed the truth which provides meaning, direction, purpose and commitment: a sense of DIVINE DESTINY [or DESTINATION].

As the sons of God, our life is like a road trip. And in fact, we may not be aware of the specific “destination” we are “destined” to arrive at. But if we truly believed we were people of destiny, we would surely be mindful of seeking His direction every day. Why? Because we would know that each day’s assignment, given by Him, is a preparation and a precursor to the next step and the next, until we attain to that destiny for which we were called.

God has destined you for something that no one else can do. Do you believe it? Let us ask God to awaken us to this sense of divine destiny. Understanding God has a destination (a destiny) for us gives meaning to every step. And not wanting to miss-step, we are very careful to ask for directions!

“I press on in order that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus…for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works which he prepared [for us] beforehand, that we should walk in them” (Philippians 3:12; Ephesians 2:10).
