Have you ever been out driving and arrived at a destination only to realize that the place where you ended up is not where you intended to be? Well, this has happened to us within the last week ~ not once but twice! For some reason, the car seemed to be in Auto Pilot mode and had a mind of its own. Recollecting these events now causes us to laugh out loud, though at the time it was anything but funny (especially when the driving error necessitated a change of plans!).
As a direct result of all this, we have been reminded again of the need to 'be alert' and 'stay focussed'. Not a bad thought to bear in mind at the commencement of a New Year, is it? So remember, keep focussed on the things that matter most and don't allow yourselves to get side-tracked!
With confidence, we echo an assurance of our faith ~ "I have a Pilot who guides me night and day". Praise God, His will for us is not Auto Pilot mode, but a purposeful, personal plan!
Hebrews 12:2 (The Message)
"Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in... because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God."
