Sometimes we miss a lot of incredible opportunities because of a lack of vision in our lives. We’re not able to see it. We’re not able to capture the vision that God may have for us because of preconceived notions or because of the way we’ve already figured things should be, could be, ought to be. We set out to travel where we think we need to go and in the process we block out other avenues, other possibilities, other interesting sites that we might have otherwise seen, that we might have otherwise experienced if it were not for the spiritual blinders that we put on our life. We set out on a predetermined course of action and we miss other thingsthat God may in fact have had in store for us.
In this week's sermon you will hear another tip while driving down the road of life which may, at first, seem rather paradoxical. The tip is that we’ll discover that driving down the road of life making good decisions in order to enjoy the ride to the fullest sometimes involves traveling off the map.
Why would anyone want to march off their map? Why would we want to leave behind that which is familiar to do that which is uncomfortable? The Christian pilgrimage is all about knowing that I’m not in the place I could be or should be. I’m not completely sure of how to get there, but my trust in the relationship of the One who gives the promises will help me to take the next faith step. What’s the next step for you?
What we discover as we get a little bit further down the road of life is this: If we really want to live, we have no choice but to march off the map. Off the map, into the unknown, based on faith in the One who’s called us.
