Where are you going?

This past Sunday we reflected on the theme of where our lives may be heading. The sermon can be found here.

One of the problems in seeking direction is that we are often just too caught up in the journey to stop and ask. Commitments on our time impede from all directions. Work, family, travelling in between appointments, meeting deadlines… our schedules are not our best friend!

It is sometimes only when are forced to stop travelling on the crazy train that we find the time to ask where it may be heading. Times of illness, weather related cancellations, simply getting caught in the traffic can create a space where we suddenly become reflective and ask; “Just where is my life heading?”

In a society that rejects sabbath such momentary pauses can be our ‘little sabbaths’. Time to take stock and evaluate the journey. Space to ask where the direction of God and the things of God’s Kingdom fit into the picture.

Make the most of such moments. They can be revolutionary!

Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, we hear Your call to follow You. We confess we often do so without truly thinking it through. We get caught up in the everyday madness. Direct us and lead us. Show us where changes need to be made and grant us the strength of Your Holy Spirit to make them! Amen.
