Moving Right Along!

Ok! So there are times in life when we come into agreements with people without thinking about what the future holds, what the consequences are or the stability of each parties commitment. Though we are never promised tomorrow we still have to consider it by faith. We have to live life like it's the last day while living for eternity. I heard the other day that we are living in our promise of eternal life now and it doesn't start when you die. When we die it's just the separation from our spirit and flesh. As we commit to one another it is very important to consider the changes that may transpire as the days go by. New goals, insights, relationships, and changes in finances, stance, and perspective are must need consideration before going into a lengthy contract with an individual or business. Nevertheless, when the unexpected arises we keep moving forward and be sure not to backtrack to were we started. Build from the current and lead your plans to the future and not towards the past. Sometimes we just want to help. Well, we have to be sure to help in a manner that aligns with the will of God and that our help leads to a fruitful outcome for the persons we help and for ourselves. Never make a promise you cannot keep. Be sure the promise is able to be kept regardless of how life turns. If there are chances of indifference of the set plan then stray away from giving your word.

Proverbs 6:1-5(MSG)
^1-5 Dear friend, if you’ve gone into hock with your neighbor
    or locked yourself into a deal with a stranger,
If you’ve impulsively promised the shirt off your back
    and now find yourself shivering out in the cold,
Friend, don’t waste a minute, get yourself out of that mess.
    You’re in that man’s clutches!
    Go, put on a long face; act desperate.
Don’t procrastinate—
    there’s no time to lose.
Run like a deer from the hunter,
    fly like a bird from the trapper!

The journey before the journey!

The other day I was asked a phenomenal question. Where are you going? Actually the exact question was where are you going in Christ? Wow! I really had no idea and my response could only be "You tell me Lord." There are times in life were are setting our minds to relocate. Whether it be moving to another place to live, work or fellowship something arises in us that let us know it is time to move on. It is very necessary to know where you are going before you leave. You cannot just begin a journey and have no idea of where you are going, where you want to end or at least where you don't want to end up. I am now in search of where I am going. Just when I thought I had a great plan things seem to reveal to me that I do not. Such a funny life we live and a funnier world we dwell in. I can't seem to stop to think of the instructions Jesus gave when he was sending his disciples out two by two.

Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

² And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
³ And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
⁴ And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
⁵ And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
⁶ And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

Luke 9:1-6(KJV)

We'll start here. I don't know exactly how meditating on this scripture is going to help me figure out where I am going but it's a sure need to know information before I go. So far I am figuring out all I need is Jesus!
