Sunday Blogvotional: What Road Is Your Goal?

Thank you Father, for talking about roads in your word. You've made it clear that the road of life we travel on is so very important. One road leads to destruction and the other leads to life eternal. So, maybe we should check our roadmap and consider which road we are on. Is our goal to reach heaven? Maybe we are just wandering aimlessly without a plan or goal? We must first have a destination in mind in order to get there.

There are many goals in life that we strive to attain like getting a college education, a good job, financial security, a happy marriage or maybe even some of us strive for fame and fortune. Some goals are more worthwhile than others yet it is important to have a goal. Without goals it’s most likely we will never reach our destination.

Our days are numbered and if heaven is our destination we have to make plans on how we will get there in the unknown days allotted to us. Will our life end on a side road where we got side-tracked? We could get stuck in the mud or lose our compass and end up lost. Where is your life taking you? Regardless of our goals, today is the day to reevaluate and check the best roadmap ever (the Bible) and see if we are on the straight and narrow road or aimlessly wandering on side streets that will never get us to the destination we desire.

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:13,14

Encouragement of the week: Reading the most interesting book in the world with the presence of the Holy Spirit to guide us will definitely lead us to the right destination. What can be better than that?
