Not Perfection... DIRECTION!

Which direction are you going?  Are you going there on purpose?  Take a step back this morning and look in front of you.  Do you see the path before you?  Did you decide on that path?  Or did you seek God first and did He guide you there for His purpose?  What is standing in your way?  Is there an obstacle you are about face?  Or maybe you've just faced one.  Are you still moving, or did you stop and take a break?  Are you frustrated with your path? Is it not perfect?  Does someone else’s look nicer?  No curves or rough spots?

I want to encourage you this morning!  God uses all of our paths for His purposes – the smooth ones, the rocky ones, the ones that trip us up, the ones that have steep hills and low valleys.  He uses them all.  

If you are not seeking the Lord, SEEK HIM!  He has the best most wonderful path for you to ever be on – for this life and for all of eternity!  In life there will be hard times, rough times, confusing times – but there are also times of great joy and blessing!  If we are to go through this life, wouldn’t you rather it all be for something?  Wouldn't you want someone to be with you through all of it?  I know I would.  I want my life to have purpose, not just for today, but for eternity!    

If you are on His path that He has placed before you – MOVE!  Keep going forward, don’t stand still and don’t take a break.  Sure, you may need to take a stroll rather than run a sprint at the moment, but the point is to keep going forward.  We have never “arrived” in this life, so if you think you have, you are wrong…. get going, there is more work yet to be done, more life to enjoy, more blessings ahead of you!

Enjoy the path you are on.  If you are following Christ and you know He has placed you there, there is an eternal purpose for it.  He is right there with you.  Enjoy His presence; BE in His presence!

We are to watch how we live, and walk faithfully before God with all of our heart and soul.  Are you doing this?  Are you observing how you are living?  Are you walking faithfully before Him?  Are you walking with all of your heart and soul? 

No path any of us are on is going to be perfect.  I pray you are blessed today as you take your eyes off yourself and look outward to what He has in store for you.  We may not know what is before us, but if we have chosen His path, we know that everything will be just fine.  Why?  Because we’re with Him, and there is no other place I’d rather be!  How about you? 

Be blessed as you grow!
