Do you know where you are going?

"For the LORD knows the way of the the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish".                                                                               Psalm 1:6 NKJV 

God knows everything about us - what we're thinking, planning and putting into practice. He also knows where we are going - our destination. Do you?

If you were planning to go to London by train, you wouldn't get on a train going towards Lands End. This would be foolish and counter-productive. Yet people miss their destination through a variety of reasons. A man from the Somerset area back in the 80's, attended a Christian Crusade with friends and, when asked if He knew Jesus as his Lord, replied, 'No I don't, I have a lot of living to do firstly, then I'll think about it.' That very day he was knocked down and killed by a lorry, just outside of the church. Scary stuff; but he had a choice of destination and he chose the wrong way.

We cannot gamble with our salvation. God is not into gambling, He is into the truth and we should always be wise in choosing our way forward. Sometimes our choices can be wrong, rather like the man who was killed.

Do you know where you are going when you die? Have you chosen the direction you want to go? There is a choice, right up until the time you are ready to die. Some leave it until then as they believe it is a personal thing and it can be decided in those last few moments of life. That may be true because, we don't know what happens in this last few seconds. However, it's cutting it fine; what if there is no opportunity to decide? It is one mighty gamble, one in which, those who don't know Jesus need to ponder seriously.

Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us to, 'Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.' Notice carefully the, 'lean not on your own understanding'. You only know so much, God knows everything. This is why when we ask Him; we know, 'He shall direct our paths'.

We can either spend eternity with Jesus and all we love and know are believers, or we can spend eternity without Jesus and all we know and love. This cannot be watered down. You need to be at your destination with Jesus, otherwise you will be in terrible torment in hell.

Do you know where you are going? The choice is yours and you can say this prayer, if you choose Jesus:

Lord Jesus, please come into my life and forgive my sin. I want to live for You from this day on. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name. Amen.

If you said this prayer, you know where you are going!
