The Journey is the Destination

He went out, not knowing where he was going. (Hebrews 11:8)

“As disciples, we are called to walk by faith. Faith never knows where it is being led, but it knows and loves the One who is leading. It is a life of faith, not of intellect and reason. It is a life of knowing the One who sends us out. The root of faith is knowledge of a person—Jesus Christ himself. One of the biggest traps we fall into is the idea that God will surely lead us to worldly success. He will surely lead us into a personal relationship with Jesus. That is his measure of success.” (Oswald Chambers)

Love this discussion of FAITH. We are never promised success, just a eternal destination with Him.

When we have changes come, it may not always be comfortable. Our lives will always have challenges, as we are not promised success or even comfort. Those are not His goals as he shapes and conforms us – He seeks our growth.

Growth is not always fun, but it is rewarding. Learning to trust and follow even when I may not fully be comfortable should be our goal.

We also need to recognize that His definition of success for us may be very different that the success we are seeking.
