YOU’RE ON A JOURNEY

Take a turn without God and it will be the worst mistake you will ever make!

 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. Luke 15:13

There is a poem I heard about several years ago written by Robert Frost, “The Road Not Taken.” Within the poem the traveler comes to a fork in the road and he has to make a decision to make. Will he go left or will he go right?

Friend, as you and I travel this road called life; we should not make any decisions on which way to go without the Lord guiding us! We should let the Lord have His way. When we don’t we find ourselves alone, broken, and eating the scraps from the world’s leftovers!

Will you let Him guide you? Or will you grinding husk with your teeth like the Prodigal Son?

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH GODLY PEOPLE

I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts. Psalm 119:63

The people with whom we travel are much more important than the place to which we travel. –Wright

I have been around the world. But one thing about it, I have never enjoyed going alone. Being with someone you love or a few friends makes the trip so much better. You truly make memories that will last a life time!

Much like traveling, when we go through life it is important for us to surround ourselves with people who love the Lord, His Word, and His people. When we do, we are setting ourselves up for success, we are helping those the Lord has commanded us to, and we are making memories that will last for eternity!

WHO ARE YOU TRAVELING WITH?

The people with whom we travel are much more important than the place to which we travel. –Wright

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14

We have gone on many trips with friends of ours. Mission Trips, vacations, and school trips have been so much better because of the company we had. We have made each another laugh, cry, and one time, one of us even danced on stage. Going through this life with them has been so much better because they were with us.

Friend, are you trying to travel this life without the Lord Jesus? Stop! Trust Him! He will wipe the tears from your eyes when you cry. He will put a smile on your face when no one else can. I don’t think He will ever get you to dance on a stage but what He may get you to do is deliver the Good News of Jesus Christ to a lost, dying, and hurting world!

Who are you traveling with that pushes you closer to God? If you don’t have anyone—pray and ask the Lord to give you someone!
