Changing Places

Every one of us is on a journey. For every journey, there is a beginning point and a destination. Usually, the most excitement comes not at the beginning or end, but during the trip. In more philosophical terms, it is called the "Process." And it is during the process that we have the opportunity to find out what we are really made of. This is especially true and underscored when adjustments have to be made during our journey. The test is this: are we willing and able to "adjust and go" when plan A has to yield to plan B, or do we ignore the newest travel updates, stick to our plans, much to our own harm? Herein lies the challenge for the Christian who desires to listen to and follow Jesus: we need to have the right kind of mindset that can embrace transition. We need to experience an inward work of grace so we will make healthy decisions on our journey. We need to listen carefully to what Jesus is telling us to do, to obey all of His instructions.
