Where Are You Going?

You may remember in the story of Alice in Wonderland that Alice came to a fork in the road. She asked the Cheshire Cat, who was sitting in a tree, “What road do I take?”

The cat asked, “Where do you want to go?”
“I don’t know”, Alice answered.
“Then”, said the cat, “it really doesn’t matter, does it?”

Some people are content to live in that kind of nether-world, but once you have caught the vision of the truth that God has given to His people through Jesus Christ, anything less than that is unacceptable.

As someone once said, “Once you’ve seen a sunrise, you can get ‘hooked’ on it.” So, living with Jesus in your life, and the power of truth in your heart, can become a delicious habit!

“Without a vision, the people perish” is the old proverb. So also, we can say that if you don’t know where you are going, you are going to end up in the ditch. Without a worthy purpose to begin each day, you will soon find yourself like the proverbial dog chasing it’s tail, and getting absolutely nowhere!

Like the plants of the field, we cease to live when we are no longer illuminated by the SUN. As Christians, we cease to have life with meaning, when we are no longer illuminated by the power of the SON, the Son of God.
