...Direction...

Each journey has a beginning.

Each beginning is dog-eared by a single choice- as subtle as an attitude or as blatant as a decision.

A single step will take you closer to where you are headed and further from where you were.

Everyone's days, hours, and minutes are plagued by these infernal choices.

But... what if we resolved not to make them? What if we relied on our heritage and the worn path's of our fathers to take us to the destination? What if we took a reprieve from the travel, to sit in the shade of a tree and just be? Just exist.

Gonea re the weary and sore muscles from heaving the traveler's pack.

Gone are the bloodshot eyes, tired from the nights spent tormented by the map and compass.

.......

What if instead we could be transported?

Out of the rut, trudging in the dust, just whisked away to a distant land flowing with joy, comfort, and prosperiety.

What if we don't have to bear the burden of life?

What if the One who created not only our souls, but Who numbered the hairs on our heads and Who laid out the paths before us, wanted to take our strife?

What if Him who bears all, truly has an easy yoke?

What if we have all the information needed to make the swap?

Would we? Would you? Have I?

What if we could be a generation that resolved to trust God?!
What we we took a stand for Jesus and let Him guide our steps?
I know we can.
I know I can.
It all starts with a simple decision: say YES to God. Say NO to self.
Surrender.
Seek refuge in Him and watch your destination change, your map refresh and feel your spirit renew.
It's a choice we all have to make.
