[Discoveries] 01-19-08 Enjoying the trip -- Hebrews 11:8

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*By faith, Abraham, when called to go to a place when called to go to a 
place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even 
though he did not know where he was going. -- Hebrews 11:8*/

Boy, can I relate to this verse!

We men are destination centered. I've discovered that now that I have 
four children. My idea of traveling is to drive until we get there. But 
that doesn't work, especially with kids who get carsick.

Anyway, if we can't get there as fast as we possibly can, we at least 
like to know where we are going. I almost always check an online map and 
directions resource before I go anyplace new. I want to know how to get 
there.

But God likes to share the journey with us, so He slows things down and 
doesn't tell us too much about where we're going, except cryptic phrases 
like, "You'll like it," and "Don't worry, you'll be glad once you're 
there." Instead of a road map, He gives us directions for the next 
block, the next mile, the next turn.

Thank God for Abraham. He knew how to relax and enjoy the trip. Okay, 
God, I put the navigation in Your hands. I'll let it rest with You. What 
do you have for us right now?

Be encouraged!
Dwight
