Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.  Proverbs 19:21 NIV

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.  Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT

Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow.  Psalm 25:4 NLT

YOUR DIRECTION, NOT YOUR INTENTIONS, DETERMINES YOUR DESTINATION.

“The direction you are currently traveling – relationally, financially, spiritually, and the list goes on and on – will determine where you end up in each of those respective arenas.”   Andy Stanley

YOU CAN’T GET TO WHERE YOU WANT TO BE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE.

Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. Romans 12:3 NLT

Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith. 2 Corinthians 13:5 NLT

22 But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. 23 For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. 24 You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like.  James 1:22-24 NLT

TO GET FROM WHERE WE DON’T WANT TO BE TO WHERE WE DO WANT TO BE REQUIRES TWO THINGS: TIME AND A CHANGE OF DIRECTION.

  1. TIME
  • You didn’t get here overnight, and you won’t get to where you want to be overnight.
  • If you drive two hours in the wrong direction you will have to drive two hours in the right direction just to get back to where you started.  It takes time!
  • Most people fail to arrive not for lack of desire, but lack of commitment.

2.  CHANGE OF DIRECTION

  • Most people focus on their problems or symptoms and fail to realize they have chosen to live in the wrong direction.  
  • They need a new direction.
  • Life is a series of mid-course corrections.
  • The course you are on will take you exactly where you are headed.
  • God wants us to trust Him completely.
  • We must be willing to surrender control and trust His path.

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.  Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT

Next steps for me today…

  • Evaluate where you are headed.
  • Determine where you really are currently.
  • Change the path that you are on.
  • Fully trust Jesus to teach you what steps and path to follow.
