We have Pauls encounter on the road to Damascus
We have the disciples encounter on the road to Emaus
Philip met with the Ethiopian offical after been told to take the desert road to Gaza
the list goes on and on...
Things seem to happen when we are going somewhere in our life
It is hard for God to move in our life if we are stationary. I don't mean this in a strictly phisical sense.
It is important to stop sometimes and take stock, but it must be part of journey in which we are moving forward..
We might not be able to see the journey ahead, but we need to keep moving. You can't steer a ship that is stationary, instead it will be moved by the currents it sits in.
If we don't want to be controlled by the currents that surround us we have to keep moving forward
The road to wherever you are going may seem irrelevant and boring but you have no idea where God will meet you...
