Are We There Yet?

If you are a parent, you have heard this question so many times you could scream. I was wondering if God felt the same way as I was asking him this question for the hundredth time. It seems like we have been going in circles lately. Like we can't quite get ahead. I know God has Great plans for us but I find myself asking him every day are we there yet? Every time I think we have arrived God always tells us no keep going. I was reminded today about the Hebrews in the wilderness. You know They had to keep thinking are we ever going to get to the promised land. Perhaps they might have even said I didn't sign up for this hardship. Why is this so hard? Instead of focusing on how long it is taking or wondering when are we going to get there, we should be looking around at what we can do NOW! Can we pray with someone? Can we visit the sick? Can we help another bear his load?“Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.”Galatians 6:2 KJV

Sometimes we get so focused on where we are going that we forget we have so much we can do along the way. My prayer today is that we can all focus on what we can do NOW before we end up with tomorrow's regret of missed opportunities.
