God’s Will in the Journey (# 79)
“There is joy in the journey…”
Singer/song writer Michael Card
I
watched as my neightbour’s three year old son – in a world of his own – gently touching
the shinny smoothness of a leaf of a shrub outdoors.
It
was a moment of discovery and wonder – this thrilling sensory experience.
For
him, I guess it was the opening up of a whole new world – the world of
education at its most primal level.
That
was six years ago. Since then, I’ve
moved on from that location.
My
wish for him is many more such educational and joyful experiences on his
journey through life.
I've come to realize the importance of the journey; and it’s not so much the
destination but the path to reach there.
I've also realize that God’s will is discovered via the journey. The thing is that the journey is never free
of obstacles. However, without the
journey – hurdles and all – we cannot build our faith muscles. We cannot learn to trust and depend on God as
we should if our journey is smooth and easy.
We
would be missing the thrilling experiences along the way. In addition, we acquire so much knowledge
from our experiences of success and failures that we are able to help others on
similar journeys.
At
the end of it all, we have arrived at where God wants us to be.
And
that’s where we find God’s will… and joy of the journey.
