Where are you going?
I am heading out the door on this frigid morning to go, hating it every inch of the way, to the dentist. Who LIKES to do that? But it is a necessity for good health to care for your teeth. So, off I go. I KNOW where I'm going.
This morning, in a devotional I am reading called Sweet Tea for the Soul, the author writes this "tongue in cheek" quip. "The nice part about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you're doing, someone else does." Isn't that the truth. Or at least they think they know.
When you are at a crossroads in your life, when you are trying to make a decision about what to do or where to go, how do you decide? I learned just last night that some friends that I have gotten close to are moving. They only moved to the area a few years ago, but have plugged themselves into our small community and made a big difference by their presence and energy here. We are sad to see them go.
Also in this same book the author says whether you sit on a throne or a milkstool, it doesn't matter. It's where you're going that does.
Where are you going today? What road will you take? Even that doesn't matter as much as where you're going to spend eternity. There's no better verse in the Bible than this to tell us the importance of where we're going.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

So, no matter what road you take today, no matter where you are going or what task you are undertaking, the ultimate decision is where you will spend eternity.
