Hey Driver, Where Ya Headed?
You've been asked that question about a million times. Usually, we answer in terms of our immediate destination. We might say something like, "I'm going to try to make the Guitar City before I shut her down tonight." Sometimes we think a little further ahead and we might answer, "I'm headed out to the shak'y side for a Monday delivery." I'd like to get you to think a little further ahead. Driver, where is your life headed? What is your ultimate destination? Who plots the course for your life?
The word of God tells us we all are headed somewhere. God's word declares that every human being who ever lives will live for eternity either with God or separated from God in hell.
Hosea 14:9 says, "Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein."
God has a plan for every life. God's plan is right. Those who walk in (cooperate with) God's plan experience His blessings. Those who rebel against God's plan stumble. God's plan for your life includes submission to and dependence upon Jesus Christ, His Son.
Those who trust Jesus are sure of their destination. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father but by me." (John 14:6)
That verse says Jesus is the only way to God. Without Him there is no going to the Father. Jesus is all the truth about God. Without Him there is no knowing the Father. Jesus is the offer of life from God. Without Him there is no living with the Father.
One thing any good driver has to know is where he's going. You wouldn't pick up a load and take off not knowing your destination.Why would you live your life that way?
Make a needed turn. Turn to Jesus Christ. Ask Him to take control of your life and lead you in the right direction. Ask Him to forgive your sins and take you to the Father. And the next time someone asks, "Hey Driver, where ya headed?", tell them,"Praise God, I'm heaven bound!"
