Direction
Direction.
Maybe you have a strong sense of it, maybe you do not. No matter how strong your sense of direction or purpose; chances are, somewhere a long the line the direction you thought you were headed ended up taking you somewhere quite unexpected. These disruptions in our self-realized grand schemes can either send us spiraling or we can allow them to refocus us.
As we continue to follow the early life of Jesus we find the small family in a bit of danger as Herod’s anger pours over the land of Bethlehem, claiming the lives of every infant in and around the place that Jesus was born. Thanks to Joseph’s willingness to listen and act, Jesus life was spared. However; this small family finds themselves fleeing to Egypt. Egypt, a land that previously their people had been enslaved and brutally mistreated for so many years. A place that was once a symbol of oppression and suffering now acting as a haven of shelter.
Whatever we may have planned for our futures or the directions we foresee our lives headed, twists and turns in the road don’t have to mean failure, but can often be God’s way of keeping us on track for a successful future.
Join us tonight at the usual time the usual times: doors open at 3:30, dinner at 5:15, and the experience to follow.
See you tonight!
