March 11
Life is uncharted territory with many twists and turns and side roads that can confuse us as we endeavor to find our way toward our goals. We follow the prescribed route to the best of our ability but the unforeseen eventualities we encounter along the way often require us to modify our route.
They might even require us to change our destination. Many of us can attest to the career modification that occurred because of an interrupted education or the romance that went sour because of military service…the examples are as endless as our lives’ stories.
But there is one destination that we must proceed toward resolutely. When the trials of life come and the winds of adversity assail us, we must maintain our course without detouring from it! Joshua 3:4 says, “…you can see the way to go though you haven’t traveled this way before.” It is clear that we must follow Jesus.
He is the only One who offers a viable answer to life’s perplexities and the direction to life’s ultimate destination. No matter what other destinations we may seek in life, if we do not make gaining eternal life our priority, if we do not follow the One who is the only Way to salvation, no other achievement will compensate us for the enormity of our ultimate loss.
