Direction of Travel

My Child,

Do you know the direction of your travel?

Imagine two trains. For a long time they travel next to each other. They stop at the same stations where people enter and exit the trains. It seems that both trains are heading in the same direction. However, at some point, one of them will turn right and the other one left.

My Child, where is the train you are sitting in heading to?

Are you on board the train that is led by my Spirit? This train will stop at stations where you will be refreshed with joy, hope, peace, love and greater intimacy with Me.

Or are you sitting on the train led by the ways of the world? This train stops frequently too but whenever it does it is all about your own pleasures, your own will, your own wisdom and strength.

My Child, it’s not too late to change trains. 

Which train which do you wish to travel on?

Application:

Ask Holy Spirit to show you the train you are travelling on. Ask Him to show you areas in your life where you have partnered with compromise, where you follow your own wisdom, your own ways and your own will. Take some time to repent for partnering with independence and then submit those areas under the Lordship of the King.

Matthew 6:33 (NLT)

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.

Psalm 32:8 (NIV)

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
