"You know the way to the place where I am going."
“Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”
-- John 14:4-5
What areas of my life are like Thomas? Jesus has prepared and made both the destination and way to get there. In the face of the declaration, am I still so worried about where I'm going that the step by step directions have not yet received the slightest thought? If that is where I am, it is past time to make time to stop and hear from Jesus the important details. Who am I? What am I called to? Where is God bringing me towards in this new season? What are the goals that I should set out to attain? What are the changes I can make to my WAY of life that will help me get there? It is not surprising that the answers to these questions are hard and narrow and straight, but full of life and hopeful.
Prayer: Jesus, help me to wait on you and listen regarding the goals I should set and the changes I will need to make to get there. The things you ask are easier said than done, but you will help me in the doing and the way. Help me be a person of integrity and commitment to the things I have declared to myself.
