“Where are we?”
“Do you know where you’re going?”
“Are we lost?”

Those questions can be so irritating, especially when we are confident of our direction. But they can be bone-chilling too, especially when we secretly doubt ourselves and the direction we are heading.

Our response to these questions is pretty universal. We keep on walking. Even if the direction we are heading is leading us further from our intended goal. We keep going.

Do you know where you’re going? In the Bible, Jesus answers that question. And provides direction.

This meditation from the 14th chapter of John will help you take that walk. A walk to encounter God. Walking and dwelling in the divine presence of God.

Using your divine imagination for a moment. Let’s take a walk. Are you walking in the first rays of early morning light or are you walking in the long shadows of the evening? Where are you? A mountain trail? Along a sandy beach? A deep forest? Look up. See Christ with you. Where is he? Next to you? Behind you? Or a bit ahead. See him stop. Extend his hand to you. Encouraging you to let him steer you. Guide you. How do you feel as he whispers for you to follow him? To let him serve you. What do you see in his eyes? What does he see in yours?

Today you have the freedom to be guided by God. The liberty to follow Him. Look for opportunities to be led today and then remember the feel of your hand in His.

Let me pray, that by God’s grace you remember that Jesus is the only Way to God. By God’s grace you believe that Jesus is the real Truth and the real Life, and no one comes to the Father but through Him. Amen.
