Are You Understanding That A Hindrance Can't Stop You From Reaching Your Destination? Make Sure You Are Not Giving Up Along The Way ...

It's all about where you are going.   Have you ever been on a road trip and been delayed because you were stuck in traffic?   Yes, you were hindered.   Yes, you were delayed and in some case cases you may have been late according to "man's" clock but you got there.   You arrived.   You made it to your destination.  

That's life.   Sometimes on the road of life, we feel as though we are not getting to where we want to be but we have to trust and believe that God knows where we "need" to be at the exact time in life we need to be there.    He knows not only every situation we will ever encounter in life, He also knows every person we will ever encounter in life and there are many times along life's journey that we will either need someone else's encouragement or someone else will need ours.  

We have to get to the place of understanding that our lives are God's instruments.    The word instrument is defined as a tool or device used for a particular purpose; especially : a tool or device designed to do careful and exact work.  We have to know that God set us in place on purpose to fulfill His purpose.    We were created in His image and in His likeness so that others can see, feel, and receive His love here in the earth.   Our purpose is to display who He is in the earth.    If we never share God's love, the world will never feel it.  

Understand, even the hindrances in your life have a purpose.   It's hard to believe that there is a purpose for our pain but when you encounter someone who is going through and you are able to share your testimony on how God brought you through, you begin to understand the purpose behind your pain.    You have to always remember that your life is not about you.  So even when you encounter life's delays, be encouraged knowing that God is working everything in your life together for your good and for the good of others.   There may be someone you encounter in life during your time of delay that just needs a word of encouragement so that they can move forward as well.

When you are traveling on a bus to get from one place to another, there are times when the driver will stop along the way to pick up others so that they also can get to the final destination.   Use the times in your life where you feel like you are at a pit stop to make any necessary adjustments.  Get refreshed, get refueled, and encourage others along the way.    A hindrance can't stop you from reaching your destination so don't give up along the way.    

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
I Thessalonians 5:11
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

Where Is Your Comfort Zone? Have You Found Comfort In Sin or Is Your Comfort In God? Are You Quitting The Wrong Thing?

How hard is it for you to quit?   Sometimes it seems like we have it backwards.   We tend to quit on the things God is telling us to do that...
