Am I Headed in the Direction I Want to Go?
Searching for meaning to existence? Let’s explore together the theme of craving or longing for more.
Join us for our Daily Devotional Chat today in our Women’s Chatroom at 10:30 am EDT.
Your feet hit the deck running this morning with lots on your schedule. As you walk out the rhythm of your steps ask yourself this question…
“Does this path I am walking today lead me to a place I want to go?” Oh, I don’t mean the steps you take to work or to your next appointment… but this direction you’re on in your life. Will it take you to where you want to be next week and next year?

Experience It: Living in the power of the Holy Spirit
The choices we make today will determine where we are tomorrow.
The same principle applies to our thoughts and our attitudes. Do a check on the primary thoughts and attitudes parading through your mind these days. If you keep thinking those thoughts or carrying that attitude, will you end up where you want to be in life and in a particular relationship?
Our daily choices of where we walk, what thoughts we entertain, and the attitudes we allow to simmer will affect our lives and relationships in profound ways.
A wise Proverb from God’s Holy Word says,
“A person with good sense gives thought to his ways” (Proverbs 14:8).
Take a moment to consider… “Will the choices I am making today take me to where I want to be tomorrow?”
Lord God, Please inspire my choices today with the power of the Holy Spirit. Help me to be wise in the direction I am I going. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
Inspired by the book “The Rest of God” Chapter 2 by Mark Buchanan.
Questions: Does the path you are taking lead you to where you want to go? How will your daily choices and your attitudes affect your life down the road?

My thoughts are what get me into trouble. I don’t know what God wants me to do about them. Even though we are headed for a heavenly afterlife, we still have to live in this world. It is hard not to think negatively or have anxieties when dealing with family and finances. I try to remember to lift things up to the Lord and pray about them, but when the same problems are there day after day and there doesn’t seem to be solutions, they do weigh you down.
Carra, we are looking into adding this functionality soon, but if you copy and paste the url for this page into the “What’s on your mind?” box on facebook, it will show up on your page with a picture and a link to this article.
Hope that helps!
I wish you would include a Facebook SHARING link on these devotionals…. So many I would love to post to my FB page so that others too may be encouraged.
Dito: ~ The problem I have in the “world” is that I’m not always certain that what I’m doing is the path of God. It really takes reading scripture and going w/ the heart on every occasion. When family and friends are not following God’s plan, then I sometimes get “caught up” in that as well, then God lets me know real quick that the plan was not mine after all. That always hurts, but it also hurts to change my relationship w/ my family because of it. I had to do that, and I’ve been judged by them, and by everyone. I just notice that when I’m w/ them, I am also more judging, and I put myself in the constant path of evil and the works of satin. My life right now is anything but easy. But I choose God and this means that they (my family; the world), isn’t going to understand. Period. It’s not about an easy life for me, it’s all about God and giving Him the glory every single day. ~ Blessings to everyone.
This is so good! It’s so true that the choices we make in word and in thought absolutely direct our paths and lead us in God’s ways or in ways we are sorry for later. Oh Lord, help us at all times to be found in doing YOUR WILL!
