Some think the story of the Israelites wandering the desert for 40 years is old news. Well, I have news for you: it’s very much new news. Look at us—and I mean all of us on this planet. We’re wandering our world aimlessly. We fight and kill each other, watch as so many starve and die, and seemingly can’t agree on a thing. I mean, just what is this life about and where are we going? That’s where each one of us comes into the picture.
Change can only happen one person at a time and change is what we need. We all in different ways wander our own deserts in life until we know where we are headed and start heading there. That means we need to understand our purpose in life, that God-given, unique, and special purpose in life. And the only way to do that is by spending some time—quality time—LISTENing for/to God.
It took the Israelites 40 years to cross a desert that should have taken less than 12 days. They had no direction and lost sight of God, worshiping false gods as they aimlessly wandered the desert of their lives. When they finally found some direction and crossed over into the Promised Land only 2 of the original group of thousands actually made the crossing.
Even Jesus had to go into the desert before he started on His real path in life—the path to save us all. That was His purpose in life.
If each of us understood where we are truly heading in life—our own Promised Land—we could start changing the world. Change starts with one, with that one influencing others. The onus is on each of us to make this world a better place and to leave it in better hands. That’s clearly not happening now. We have to start the change. In order to do that we need to get some direction.
You have a Promised Land in your life. Find it by getting in touch with God. The closer you get to God the clearer your direction in life will be—and we all need direction! There’s no time like today to start on that path that leads to your Promised Land.
Have a direction-filled day and weekend!
