Where are we headed?

About a year ago I posted a blog about drifting. I think it is worthy of reading again:

There is a time to set sail and there is a time to drift. I like drifting once in awhile but so many I see today in that mode are leading quiet lives of desperation. We have so much “stuff” in our lives that we can begin to move in a meaningless direction. The Beatles did a song that described this concept.

He's a real nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.

Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.

He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?
Nowhere Man, don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
lends you a hand.

Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.

He's a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.

A friend of mine once said that God didn’t create us to die from “Same Old” disease. We are created to have excitement in our lives. To be Someone going someplace. To have a destiny . Isaaiah 61 says,”The Spirit of the Lord is upon me” That excites me to know that a new level is mine today if I will go after it. David ran to the battle against Goliath. Whatever you are battling today, remember that God will fight on your side.
