"Do you know where your going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you? Where are you going to? Do you know?"
For just about all of us, life's road is one that is comprised of many adventures. Some have been difficult to go through. Others have given us immeasurable blessings and happiness. Mutually, the good and the bad times have brought us to the place we are today!
I am wondering:
Have the experiences that you have had, up to this point, brought you to a place of continuing to move along, or are you "stuck " and unsure of the next step?
I believe Jesus is calling us "out and onto Adventure Highway." He wants to fill us with hope and expectancy to receive the Abundant Life He Has promised us. I also believe He wants to show us that all we have experienced so far, can become a source of strength and encouragement to ourselves, to others, as He leads us to new and newer adventures.
The stories, or adventures, of two people of the Bible come to mind as examples of what God can do with our lives as we put our complete trust in Him. Abraham and Moses were called, by God, to move out of the place they were in and into a place of going.
Abraham loved God, was faithful to trust and obey Him. So when God called Abraham, it was a "going without knowing." He was told to go to a new land to live. He obeyed. (Genesis 12:1-4) God told him that He would bless him and that all the people of the earth would come through him. God promised Abraham and his wife, Sarah, that they would have a child. This child would "hold" great promise for both of them.
Moses was called out of a place where he had run to as a result of believing he had messed up. (Exodus 2:11-15) He became very comfortable there but God's plan for Him was one of great magnitude and it would be completed. He would lead a very stubborn people out of the land of bondage to the land of freedom that God had for them.
Both men, when God began to bring forth His promises and plans, "Stepped out onto Adventure Highway." They didn't know what it looked like, what would comprise the call. But because they knew who was calling them, His Greatness, they obeyed! Both men loved God and put their trust in Him! Neither man wanted to "go" without knowing God was going with them!
Both men were of an advanced age when they were called! Abraham was 75 when God told him to leave the land that he dwelt in and move to another. (Genesis 12:1-4) He was 100 when his wife Sarah bore him a son, Isaac.(Genesis 21:1-4)
Isaac begat 12 sons of whom the 12 Tribes of Israel descended from.
Moses was 80 years old when he began fulfilling the call of God to lead the children of Israel out of 400 years of bondage. (Exodus 6:1-8 and 7:7)
It doesn't matter what our "Highway" experience has been up to now. God knows better than we do why it has been what it has been. He simply loves us and has good plans for us. He wants to take what and where we've been, and let Him lead us to where we are going to! His plans for us are so much better than any we could have for ourselves!
(Jeremiah 29:11)
If things haven't turned out the way you thought they would,if you have lost your sense of direction or if you feel like you have made too many bad choices, If you have dreams that have not unfolded, leaving you feeling that there is no hope, don't give up..."Look up"... No more wondering where you are going ."
"Jesus is saying..Step onto My Highway. I can take everything and make it for good." (Romans 8:28)
Holy Spirit gave me the following words, just this morning, to share with you!

In closing, I want to say that if you have not believed and received God's gift of Salvation through His son, Jesus Christ, then I believe today is your day! Also, if you do believe that Jesus died for you but have not asked Him to be Lord of your life, then again , there is no better time than right now. Give Him control..give Him your heart!
You will be amazed!
Blessings in Jesus Name,
Drema
