Are You Going Nowhere?

Proactively plan, travel His road well, and keep listening intently to His Divine Whisper. The greatest joy and success come from vigilantly following Him.

December’s Awakening, Day 3

The fool wanders; the wise man travels.

If you don't know where you are going, every road will get you nowhere.

Failure to plan is knowingly planning to fail.

When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is happy. Proverbs 29:18 NLT

Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. Proverbs 15:22 NIV

            God created you for a mission, a purpose, and a plan. If you are not following down His road, heeding His guidance and direction, you are simply wandering aimlessly throughout this life—even if you think you’re successful and doing life well. Success and accomplishment are only measured by His will and purpose for your life, not by worldly standards and appraisal. You may have it all here, but end up with nothing there, and there is where it matters.

            Likewise, if you are not sure of your life purpose, or just don’t really care, at least be diligent about using all your talents and abilities to be helpful and make a positive difference in every life you can. Sometimes, as you step out and simply do, you will oftentimes discover a passion that you didn’t realize was there. Follow that passion, follow your heart, and oftentimes, you’ll find that God is right there encouraging you all along the way.
