For some time we have embraced the notion that how we answer three specific questions determine to a great extent the earthly path that our lives will take ….
Here they are:
- What are you going to do? (vocation)
- Where are you going to live? (geography)
- Who are you going to marry? (soul mate)
Answering those questions inaugurate a rhythm and momentum which in turn steers a powerful bearing and chisel our lives forever.
In the spiritual sense, the same is true for the decision we make surrounding the person of Jesus. We cannot ignore Him nor can we remain neutral to His claims. We must decide either for or against him. That “ultimate” decision establishes our eternal destination.
Jesus says the following:
“He who is not with me is against me …. “
Matthew 12:30” …. I am the way the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6
Irene was ambitious and out of the house early this morning going to Trader Joe’s and Safeway before returning home after the nausea became too much to bear. This morning Irene was wearing a coat, gloves and a scarf which is pretty typical because she’s always cold …. it became so warm today (high of about 90 degrees with no air conditioning) that she was later shedding clothes …. what a reversal …. !!
Shirley Churchill graciously came by the house this afternoon and again worked with Irene on physiology techniques designed to awaken the kidneys. We hope and pray to that end.
Certainly how we answer certain questions influence our earthly path and destination. We can also be certain of Jesus’ words:
“In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.”
John 14:2
We’re glad to know that deciding in Jesus’ favor guarantees an eternal destination that He is personally preparing for us ….
